Dear Sir or Madam:

I am a graduate MIS student at Texas Tech University and I am interested in an internship with a major IT or engineering company in the summer or fall 2005. I believe that this internship will allow me to contribute to the company's success by applying my experience and skills to development of high quality IT products and systems.

As of now, I have taken a number graduate and undergraduate-level MIS and MBA courses, including Programming Language Proficiency (C++), Business Problem Solving and IT (VB, ERP), Business Programming Languages (Java), Information and Systems Concepts in Organizations (database design and implementation, SQL, Oracle 9i, Visio, ERD, UML), Database Management (database administration, PL/SQL, Oracle Forms, Oracle Reports), Data Communications and Network Management (network architecture, hardware, protocols, security), Data Communication Systems (TCP/IP, Linux, hardware), Systems Analysis and Design (UML, DFD?s, CASE tools), Operations Management (operations and supply chain, management, product development), IT Project Management, and Statistical Concepts.

I also have a Master's degree in Technical Communication from Texas Tech University and over two years of work experience as a technical writer, editor, and a web master.

I believe that the combination of MIS and technical communication competences increases my ability to add value to the company, and thus may compensate for somewhat shorter professional experience. Currently, I am based in Lubbock, TX, but would be willing to travel or relocate.

Thank you for reviewing my resume. I will be looking forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Michael Likhinin
