Dear Employer,
In response to your job notice, I have been programming exclusively in the
MUMPS (M, Cache) programming language since 1973. My entire professional life
has been devoted to MUMPS. I have worked for:
8 Hospitals
6 HMO's (Health Maintenance Organizations)
3 Universities
4 Commercial Laboratories
13 Vendors
for a total of 34 different MUMPS users. Much of my work has been with the
popular IDX System.
I can work anywhere under contract. Please forward copies of my resume to
your branch offices.
The attached MS Word document consists of the following 10 pages:
Pages 1 to 2. This is my resume. I have listed all of the applications
that I have worked on, and whether I developed each from scratch or only
maintained it (fix bugs, add features, train users). The numbers following each
Application indicate the Clients (MUMPS users) for whom I worked.
Pages 3 to 9. Chronological Clients & Projects lists complete details of
all of my work for each Client. This includes the Client's address, years that
I worked there, type of organization, Hardware/Operating System, Software, and
the various projects on which I worked there.
Page 10. This is a copy of this email message.
If you have need for any MUMPS / Cache programming expertise, please feel
free to contact me.
Sincerely,
Charles Volkstorf
