I have been buying and upgrading my equipment all through college and doing the best I can with my measly income from dishwashing. (Bringing the term "getting your hands dirty to reality)Well I'm now 22 and about to graduate and NEED A JOB! and a SACD player hahah Just joking uhhh well maybe not! Im very active on Audiogon but not too sure if this has been done before but here is my resume! Anyone got a job for me?

I appreciate your negative comments and constructive criticism. I deeply apologize to anyone offended and or bothered by my positing. My intentions were not to waste anyone’s time or create turmoil. If anyone is deeply offended, email Audiogon to have the posting removed, or me kicked off (if your resentment is that strong). As most people know by now getting jobs is about having connections. I personally feel that I have a connection to the audiophile community, in some ways like a fraternity but without the drinking games and girls. I figured that people would feel the same. Does anyone? Thank you and sorry to those who are offended -Adam
Wow,

After receiving the first two postings I feared hostility against me and started to worry about the fact that I posted my personal information on the string. Now that I have received such a great response I am now getting the feedback and encouragement that I hoped for from our community of friends and enthusiasts. The resume that I did post is a more inclusive copy that I have to use when presenting my CV with no cover letter. Anyone have any comments on my work experience? While I have everyone’s attention why not critique my system? Here it goes ..... Mcintosh c-36 preamp Mcintosh 7100 amp, B&W 602 II’s (bi-wired), Pioneer pd 65 Trans, and a Conrad Johnson Da2b DAC, all connections excluding DAC and Transport are Mid priced Monster Cable. (Monster ain’t the best but all I could afford) The Pd-65 and CJ combo actually sounds like cramp and I hope to upgrade to a Sony 777 when I have the funds. I have also been dreaming to upgrade to a Mac amp with meters just for the sheer sexiness of them and a bit more power, but unfortunately the newer ones (even used (which is all I ever buy)) are too costly for me now and the older models are a bit outdated. As for the pre-amp I would love a newer model too but can’t afford one. Lastly wouldn’t Nautilus 604’s be nice!?! Well as you can see I have a big wish list! No wonder I’m going to extremes to get a job!
