I am currently seeking employment in the Information Security
field. I am currently in the UK, but will be moving back to the US (I am a
Green Card holder!) this summer and looking for work in the immediate
future (starting end of July, or August).
In my current role in London, I have developed a Network Security
department from scratch for a fast growing ISP. This involved developing
policies and procedures of varying degrees and to train employees on
secure and convenient computer use. I am looking for an equally
challenging role for the future and feel that I would contribute a great
deal.
I do not require sponsership as I am a Green Card holder and plan to move
back to the US anyway. I will very likely not require relocation
assistance.
What I am seeking is preferably work in a Unix or Unix/NT environment with
an emphasis on security. I am flexible on the location, and the above rule
of no relocation assistance will still stand.
I can be contacted by email at any time.
Please find my resume in plain text below. If you would like a copy in an
alternative format I would be happy to provide it.
Sincerely,
Avleen Vig
