Executive summary
My marketing strengths and skills are ready and I am prepared to work in the American tech sector. My weaknesses are that I need to furnish my programming skills to fit in the busiest and most proactive tech companies in America. My competitive strengths and skills are based on my standards for producing quality work, products, and services. Pointing my weaknesses in competitions, I would say that I am a step behind the industry move to generalize the working populace. Summarizing my industrial strength, I will mention my competence in the exceedingly demanding nature of the industries to effect occupational replacements in the software engineering sector. My weakness in the same is evident in the declining number of software recruits in recent years following software reuse.
Introduction
My name is Moaid Hawsawi, popularly known as the Code Guru, currently pursuing Bachelor of Technology in Computer Science at Jackson state university. I was born and raised in Saudi Arabia, though I currently reside in Mississippi. I am a frequent tourist to the Yellow Stone and the Asian and African Countries. I have participated in several coding contests and hackathon sessions in Newborn and Washington DC. I confidently consider myself ready to take the development in the cooperate industry to a new level after my university graduation.
