My response to a job ad by Zero:
Available positions : Programmer
1+ years experience in VFP 5.0.
As you can see from the resume, I don't lack experience nor expertise. I have survived at least fifty accounting/financial managers, been almost everywhere and done a lot. Porting the apps from FPD2.6 directly into VFP5 is something I've already half done - at least the tables get into a DBC, screens are ported to forms with all the snippets appearing as methods, all the m.var references replaced with thisform.object.value, snippet (methods now) cross-reference is handled too... it simply works. I practically have my FPD framework some 80% ported already into VFP. Medical education is something I'm indirectly married to - I was teaching in a (not medical) high school for five years, and I've done lot of medical software and had many contacts with the medical profession. My wife is also a doctor, so I think I had to learn more about medicine than I ever wanted to.
You may take a look at my messages at the UA (where I actually found your ad) or just ask some people around there - they already know me well.
Availability is another issue - I'm available as soon as visa is settled. From the information I have gathered, I qualify for H1 class of visas, and there shouldn't be much of a problem. While the visa is in process, I can settle the matters with my partners and make provisions for my family. The family will have to stay here for undefinite time - all three daughters are at school (different stages of - from primary to college).
Since your time zone is 8 hours behind mine, I can't answer e-mail faster than within 24h.

I love small cities - I live in one.
Hoping to hear from you soon,
And my first resume was attached. It took some web search to find a proper form, on AltaVista, of course, using my trusty Netscape (aka nescafe) 3, on a dial-up. The line height wasn't double, though, it's just that I was using sezam as my email server (and SOR, Sezam Offline Reader) as a client, and that was strictly in text mode, with hardcoded carriage returns.
