That it seems my blog is more of poor me or pity me or I deserve a job blog. Hmmm I wont say, I have not wined here as I have used this blog to vent my frustration on the whole out of work thing (lack of money, self worth, family issues and the never end bills coming my way) but, it was also me trying to reach to others in the same boat as well as advertising, hay I am out here, employers. It was also said, that I don’t have any thing listed here on me, like a cover letter or resume. Well there is but, it was so many months and post ago. Also what I had posted is not current. So here is my most current cover and resume.

To Whom It May Concern:
I am really interested in the IT vacancie that you have listed for your company. Maybe I don’t have all the qualifications you want (hold on don’t hit delete yet) yet! But maybe I do, as I have over 20 + years experience in "IT” RIGHT NOW. Read the rest of my cover and my resume. You will see what my “IT” skills are and it will Show that I can to this work! I can bring to your company along with my, can do attitude, a broad range of skills, including:
Certified CompTIA A+, Security+ and Network+ Technician
§ 2.5 years (NOC) Network experience on large Cisco based Wan – UK to Austria
§ 20 years experience MIS/DP – Yes I can do IBM mainframes and Tandem non-stops too
§ 18 years experience as technical Help Desk support – panicking users, no problem
§ 18 years experience with PC/Server based system, intranet and internet systems
§ 10+ years experienced on: Microsoft Office, Windows XP and Data Network Fundamentals (YES I do windows)
§ Strong trouble shooting skills for software, hard ware and circuit issues (and I can tell you what kind of horrors I had to face on all of them).
§ Very experienced on working with customers on problems – again panicking users, no problem
§ Working experience with Remote Access (VPN/SecurID) – I didn’t just study them I worked on/with them
§ Skilled in getting info for and creating documentation for Operation procedures (I don’t just wait for them to give it to me I go out and get it. Waiting for info on working applications is, well dumb)
Multiple software languages (Hey I have done some programming)
And much more experiences in “IT” (Mortgage, stocks and financial information systems experience and have worked “IT” in a hospital)
Can multitask, also have ability to adapt to change and learn quickly. (once was put in charge of a system that I had not worked with for over two years. Talk about having to relearn and adapt to changes but, I did it.)
I would welcome the opportunity to further discuss this position with you. If you have questions or would like to schedule an interview, please contact me by phone at 904-879-4880 or on my cell 352-356-0945 or by e-mail at
