About the Author

        My name is Zaid Tarawneh and I am currently a graduate student in the American University majoring in Information Systems.  The reason why I picked Jordan for this project is because I am originally Jordanian and I wanted to learn more about the ICT sector in Jordan.  I am going back to Jordan after I am done with my studies here and I wanted to know what possibilities existed for a career in Information Technology.  Below is my resume:
