Lords, Ladies and Gentleman,

In June I will be graduating from University of Southampton (UK) and am hoping to move to the US in early August 2005 to live with my girlfriend in Richmond, VA and I am currently looking for employment.

Although my Geography with Archaeology degree is far from vocational I have learnt many key skills integral to the world of work today including strategic planning of individual research projects, teamwork, planning and working to deadlines and putting together Powerpoint presentations. I have also spent a year of University as part of the University Air Squadron and served with the Royal Air Force as an Officer Cadet. As part of this I built upon many of the principles I learned from going to a military orientated boarding school including, leadership, respect and teamwork.

I have spent my last three summers working full time in banks and building societies (A financial institution owned by its members (rather than by shareholders) which pays interest on deposits and lends money on the security of property to enable members to buy their own homes) both at national and local level. In my role I have learned the importance of dealing with customers, listening to their needs and providing them with a product to match those needs and at the same time have gained a knowledge of interest rates, mortagages and a basic grasp of the economy.

I am not looking for a particular role in any industry at this time, although obviously I would like to both build and enhance the skills I already have and use this to apply myself to new challenges.

If you in the Richmond area and are looking for an amiable, polite humourous, dare I say intelligent, well spoken young British graduate I'd be very happy to speak to you. I am next in the US from 25th March-3rd April inclusive and am more than willing to speak to anybody who thinks I may be suited to their company.

Many thanks
Fraser Davidson
