<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">To whom it may concern.

As you will see on my resume, I have over eleven years of experience working in a thin films/optics lab. I have two years of post secondary education that had an emphasis on chemistry (pure, applied and analytical), microbiology, and biology. This formal training in a lab environment has been invaluable in my career.
As part of a team, I have had to work on both production and R+D projects. This gave me the opportunity to observe and understand how an optics lab operates from order taking to shipping.
I have worked with engineers to develop new coatings for new and existing products. Specific products I’ve worked on for R+D include DWDM filters and chromatic compensators for those filters, and piezoelectric etalons for use in instrumentation. I’ve also assisted in engineering to design multiple thin films to work together in optical assemblies as per customer requests.
My experience and practices in an optics lab are well developed.
My computer skills are excellent to advanced. I have done some web development including writing documents using mark up languages and coded server side scripts for dynamic web pages and user forms for database input. I am also familiar with Linux and it’s associated software and software suites.

Thank you.

I am submitting my resume for a position of one of the Technology Operator positions posted on your web site.

As you will see on my resume, I have over eleven years of experience working in a high tech manufacturing environment. I have two years of post secondary education that had an emphasis on chemistry (pure, applied and analytical), microbiology, and biology. This formal training in a lab environment has been invaluable in my career.
I have had to maintain, repair and retrofit vacuum chambers with pneumatic, high voltage, and hydraulic subsystems. I have had to upgrade fully manual vacuum chambers with fully automatic deposition equipment as part of a team. I can change and configure a vacuum chamber to meet the requirements of a process as needed. My experience and practices in a coating lab are well developed.
I have worked with, and studied, both the characteristics of gasses in a vacuum, and material sciences. I can competently discuss the characteristics of gasses in a vacuum and how those characteristics may affect materials being deposited and the resulting thin films. I can discuss materials and techniques used to deposit them including evaporation, ion beam sputtering and magnetron sputtering. I have an understanding of bulk and deposited materials and can discuss their morphology and stoichiometry. I have handled and worked with materials and chemicals both as a technician and an employee safety representative ensuring proper safety equipment is used.
I can troubleshoot and analyze a process problem both in situ and after seeing the results of a completed process. I have used physical and optical measurement and analytical equipment to test and measure thin films. I have worked closely with engineering and management to keep processes up to date and efficient. I have also worked closely with QA technicians to ensure that processes are being followed and maintained. Detailed documentation of problems become part of the process so that the finished product will have a history that can be tracked, and a parameter that may be added to the SPC of the process.
I have also helped write users manuals for the use and maintenance of coating equipment for technicians to use.
My computer skills are excellent to advanced, as both gaming and web development are my interests. I have done some web development including writing documents using mark up languages and coded server side scripts for dynamic web pages and user forms.

Thank you.

I was very interested to see your advertisement for positions in your Tech Support Department in the Courier-Journal (12-14-03). I have been looking for an opportunity such as this, and I think my background and your requirements may be a good match. My resume is attached for your review.

Of particular note for you and your team as you consider this support placement is my background in Computer repair and Troubleshooting. I have been building and reparing computers on the side for a number of years, both for pay and voluntarily. I have worked extensively with every version of Windows, both administratively and as an end user. I have also been working as a call-center technician for a local bank for the past few weeks.

Thank you for your time, and I await your response.

Yours truly,
Robert G. Bullock
