Hi.  I'm Bob and below is my resume.  Let me tell you a little about myself first.  I was laid off in January after almost 10 years with the Reynolds and Reynolds Company.  While there I was employed as a Customer Training Professional.  What is that?  Basically, I would travel to automotive dealership across the country and teach them the software for their new computer system.
What did I like about the job?  That's an easy one.  Meeting new people.  It was also an opportunity to visit cities that I might never get a chance to see.  I've been from New England to Florida to California.  Sometimes it would get a little stressful on family life, but luckily I did get most weekends at home.  Although North Hollywood in California in November was nice.
What didn't I like about the job?  Overall it was a nice job, sometimes corporate policy changes were a pain, but that's to be expected in any job.
I have over 30 years experience in the automotive industry and have been working with computers in different capacities since 1971.
Well, thank you for taking the time to read my resume and please do not hesitate to contact me.

Thank you,
Bob
