('binary' encoding is not supported, stored as-is) Dear Sir/Mdm, I would like to express my keen interest in a career in IT security. I understand that such jobs would require one to comprehend massive technical information and hence I have attained CCNP to supplement my Degree in Computer Engineering. To further my knowledge of IT security,I recently obtained GIAC Security Essentials Certification (GSEC). Through which, i have acquired skills related to the installation, configuration and usage of IT security tools like NMAP, Nessus, Tripwire and Tcpdump. In addition, I was also able to build on my knowledge in Unix and Windows Administration. As part of the GSEC requirements, I have also written a paper on “Securing The Network With Cisco Router”. I have 1.5 years of experience in application development of various projects including network management solutions, which provided me with a good understanding of computer networks. I believe this will be useful when understanding vulnerabilities and ways to secure them. I am confident that my skill sets would provide me with a strong foundation to take up any security related position and allow me to contribute immediately. I have attached my resume and hope that you will find my qualifications desirable, and will consider me as a future employee. I may be reached at (65)67959590/(65)96570850 and will be available for interview at the time of your convenience. Thank you for your time. Looking forward to your favourable reply. Sincerely, Rick Tan _________________________________________________________________________ Resume: Rick Tan Bang Shuh Blk 657A Jurong West Street 65 #03-682, Singapore 641657 (65)67959590/(65)96570850 Email: smercurysgat_private OBJECTIVE: To pursue a career in Information Technology security.
