Attn: Human Resources Department

To whom it may concern;

I am seeking a career as a Senior Technologist or Unix Systems Architect. I am open to positions not specifically related as long as technology plays a heavy role.

I'm a self driven technologist, If I had to pick a title, to borrow a term from a friend, it would be "Smart Person". I bring to the table a broad base of experience, centered in the Unix enterprise and it's operations. I am a solutions Swiss army knife.

My core strength is in analysis of work-flows, process and architectures. I enjoy looking into business technology issues and deriving the best practices solutions to enhance efficiency and stability. Dealing with vendor evaluations or participating in design and requirements meetings is my daily existence.

In addition to systems architecture, I bring with me a broad base of career experience. My skill-sets range from retail and corporate sales, sound engineering and tour management in the music industry, as well as a background in RF communications.

Excellent communications skills are not only a requirement for these fields but come as second nature to me. Bridging the chasm between "The Business" and the technology groups is my daily mission.

I am seeking a dynamic environment with varied challenges. I like an active and casual environment that moves at a fast pace. One of the things I have missed in the last few years is the variety of field or mobile type situations. Frequent variety of people and situations is a must.

I would prefer a position that is not anchored to the depths of the cubicle farm of typical technology departments.

My goal is to continually further my expertise in my field, broadening my experiences with as wide a range of technologies as possible. I miss the insanity of the media markets and in a perfect world a position in the media field would be a great direction.

I am confident that with the proper position I can offer your organization a tremendous yield in both leadership and technical expertise. If you should have a position that may suit our goals please contact me at your earliest convenience.

Thank you for your time;




Chris Esser
