Andrew Anderson's résumé
Secondary education
I received a sound education in foreign languages, French, German and Latin, to advanced and special level GCE at Ermysted's Grammar School, Skipton, Yorkshire. The school was founded in 1492. For a history of the school and its sporting and academic achievements see:
http://www.ermysteds.n-yorks.sch.uk/
Tertiary education
I attended Durham University. I read a general degree in modern languages (French and German), Law (English Legal System, Criminal and Family Law), and Psychology.
Sales experience
I received sales training and worked as a salesman with British Olivetti and Remington Rand.
IT roles
My first job in IT was with the Post Office Data Processing Service where I received comprehensive training in systems analysis. I have used my systems analysis skills throughout my career in all my roles: business analyst, technical writer and consultant.
Personality and character
I was recently asked to describe myself using three adjectives;
I chose hardworking, persistent and accurate.
I am a very good team player and leave a good impression wherever I work.
Employment history
I have written:
• requirements specifications
• consultancy reports
• user manuals, quick reference guides
• procedures, guidelines
• specifications and plans
Industry and public sector departments in which I have worked include state government—department of community services, department of commerce—corporate, banking, computer manufacturing, construction, electronics, insurance, media, textile manufacturing, stock exchange and entertainment.
I have skills and experience in systems analysis, business analysis and requirements analysis. The preponderance of my experience in analysis was gained early on in my career. It has served me well in all my roles in IT. I am a very good analyst and can obtain good references to that effect. Please see my full résumé for details.
In the past 10 years I have concentrated mainly on technical writing.
