Greetings,
I am an Engineer-System Technician. I have a total of 10 years of formal work experience. I am currently looking for a professional employment in New Zealand.
While my experience and interests have led me to specialize in Digital Signal Processing and Embedded Systems Programming, Technical support and Exploitation of Radio Electronic and Information Systems. My skills could be applied to various Information and Communication Technology areas.
I have been informed by close friends resident in New Zealand that the country offers one of the best “work-life” balanced environments in the world and I am keen to experience this for myself and thus seek suitable employment in New Zealand.
Some of the personal attributes I offer your organization are:
Very strong problem solving skills and an inventive-engineering midset;
Excellent analytical and very strong creative solution and team skills;
Highly self-motivated and have the ability to multi-task, set priorities for multiple projects and work on implementation with little management;
Solid interpersonal skills to interface with co-workers and customers;
Effective decision making skills with a professional, business-focused attitude;
Availability to work weekends and \ or off hours as necessary to meet the organization’s needs;
Good written, presentation and verbal communication skills.
I enclose my resume (curriculum vitae) for your kind reference, review and positive perusal.
Sincerely,
Alexey Vasiliev
