Asking questions is encouraged! You want the gig, you "work" for it. Your initial message to us may already indicate inventiveness, attitude, approach, and so on.

hi LUV-jobs,
I'm a Linux geek with a strong consulting/engineering background
currently living in Wellington, New Zealand.
I'm preparing to move over to Melbourne and will be arriving on the 15th
of September looking for some exciting work opportunities.
My background involves a mixture of pre-sales, solution
design/implementation, sysadmin and web application programming;
particularly around open source and Linux technologies.
Anything from small business servers up to large enterprise and
telecommunication systems, in the last year I've been particularly
focusing on centralised authentication systems.
If you have roles that might suit someone like myself, email me off-list
and I'll send you my CV with full details.
Naturally I'm keen on Melbourne (There's trams! And great food! What's
not to love?) but open to any really cool opportunities elsewhere in AU
as well.
And on a side note, if you're a Linux geek and want to catch up for a
$beverage, just let me know - keen to meet as many new people as
possible. :-)
regards,
jethro
