Succinctly, I'm seeking some part-time work: LAMP web programming
ideally, but I'm able enough to turn my hand to most tech things if
necessary. <br>
<br>Why am I looking for work? I'm a mature student (is 30 mature?
Gawd, I hope not), in my final year at Staffordshire University,
studying for a degree in Applied Information Technology. I've just
finished at my full-time job, decided to stop studying part-time for a
few hours here and there (and therefore stop dragging out my graduation
date by years) and to simply get my degree finished as soon as possible
by studying at full pelt. (People generally at this point say things
like "Oooh, well done!" or "How brave!") Thing is, I've still got a
mortgage & bills to pay and, more importantly, I fear losing what
skills I've learnt if I'm not applying them practically during this
time. You can see my problem. <br>
<br>So I'm here, essentially writing a begging letter to all you nice
strangers out there, hoping one of you has some scraps of work that
you're willing to throw my way. I'm looking for about 15 hours worth of
work a week, ideally as an employed individual, but if I really have to
I'll submit to contracting (dealing with self-employment is just a
bother while studying).<br><br>You can check out my CV here: </span><span><a href="http://docs.google.com/View?id=ddvv83j2_20g9fc5ddf" target="_blank">http://docs.google.com/View?id=ddvv83j2_20g9fc5ddf</a> It's pretty chocka and you can trace my progression from web designer through to baby systems admin / web programmer.<br>
<br>
I'm clean, intelligent, but unfortunately, ginger. Rejection of me on that last point is perfectly understandable. <br><br>Charlotte Owen<br></span>
