Hi,
 
After my first temple visit on East coast in US (huge temple just close to my place) - and thrid in the past 10 months, followed by a luch and movies at my room mates's parents' place - in US army ( my room mate has an awful habit of speaking out in Arabic - Allah , Salamalaekum etc i metro trains and buses - which even his father cautioned is very ill advised these days) My brown skinned room mate also wants to work in US army as an interpretor - though he is not a musim nor from Middle East.
 
Today I contacted a few people - in World Bank and another big NGO -- I have no idea how things will work out -- but as Krishna said in Geeta -- Try and do not worry about the results!!
I did not know that World Bank had so many buildings and publications!
 
Here is my resume for your comments.

Subject: Seeking a  position in policy research and evaluation or a suitable post

Sir/Madam,

                       

I am a masters graduate with an  Ed. M. (2005) in International Education Policy from Harvard University, Graduate School of Education, USA. My previous degrees are in Management and Economics.  My prime interest is in education policy design, monitoring and evaluation, aiming  to overcome educational inequality and achievement gap. Further, I have taught classes and handled educational administration for five years in India - in an ESL, co-ed, K-12 environment, prior to my Harvard degree in education.

 

Further, I have prepared and presented research papers on educational policy analysis,  in various seminars at Harvard, Stanford and Washington DC. Moreover, I have a good knowledge of statistical data analysis including SAS  as well. Furthermore, I have done Action Research that allowed an important change in the K12 school in India ,where I was working earlier.

 

Further, I am a citizen of India and my previous work experience of over 8 years has been in India, in the field of K-12 school education (5 years)  and national news-media (3 years). I am fluent in English and Hindi and have a working knowledge of Punjabi, Gujarati, Sanskrit and Urdu. I am learning Spanish nowadays. Currently,  I am on a F1 student visa in USA and am availing Optional Practical Training visa status to be able work in USA for 12 months, st! arting July 1st 2005.

 

At the program at Harvard I had been developing skills in Teacher Training in Reading and Writing, Effective Education Reform strategies for USA and Developing Countries, Civic & AIDS education, School Organizational and Instructional Reform Data Analysis and Research, Community Participation, Project Proposal Design and Implementation strategies.

 

 I have been active in initiating efforts at Harvard Graduate School of Education for extra monetary and organizational support to international students here. The Dean has responded very favorably to our efforts.

 

I look forward to contributing to the society’s development by working under the umbrella of your esteemed organization.

 

Thank you.

Yours Sincerely,                                                                       July 18th, 2005
