- 1. Jonathan Sawyer 6120 Rosalind Ave., Richmond, CA, 94805 jon_dms@hotmail.com, phone # available upon request Career Objective October 2015, please note: I am not actively seeking employment. I just wanted to update my very old resume online. I have 10 plus years with T-Mobile USA now and get a LOT of PTO time; so it would need to be an exceptional position/package for me to consider leaving my current position. Thank you for your interest. Not seeking employment with a high tech company where I can utilize my education, my technical background/work experience, my analytical problem-solving skills, and my very strong work ethic. I seek an interesting, challenging position where I will continue to grow as an engineer.
