Hi folks,
I emailed here about a month ago, and am still looking for work. I thought
I'd try my luck again, in case any new positions have opened up, or if
anyone else is interested.
My resume is included below.
I am seeking work anywhere in North America - I am flexible to the exact
location and don't require relocation assitance.
My work experience is mainly UK based but I do have a US Green Card (no
visa required for work).
If anyone is aware of openings they feel I would be appropriate for,
please let me know.
I am looking for work immediately and would be happy to provide references
up front.
Sincerely,
Avleen Vig
