Prospective employers;
You are here in response to a employment application and I will not waste your time. Although I may not be of the current generation of Sheradin or Ryerson Internet courses, l I know my stuff usually teaching not being taught. My reasons clear and commitment long term.
After 5 years of being out of the mainstream loop in a wilderness area I must return to a urban area to take full time employment rather than pursuing indpendent dot com dreams, where I wish to work in house.
Please let me know if you require any further information with respect to this application.
Yours truly,
Robin Morrish
