I have worked as a consultant for several architectural and engineering firms throughout my career in Florida. I have created a project portfolio page on the internet with pictures of finished projects I have worked on for your convenience at www.myspace.com/cadwerks_studios. I have an extensive background developing project drawings using Autodesk and Microsoft software. I probably have more knowledge of computer software and hardware than most of your applicants due to my hands on experience. In the past this has opened up more opportunities for me. I am currently looking for work in the Tampa area but I would consider moving for the right opportunity. I have excellent references and think I would be a valuable asset to your firm. I look forward to the possibility of working with you and your talented staff on new challenging projects.
Sincerely,
Chris Currie
