Che storia figata, ragazzo!



My situation/experience: Bs In Computer Science (graduated in June 2005). After graduation I worked as a .NET mobile apps developer for a few months, then moved on to my current job in enterprise software support (Nov 2006 to now). I also did a few freelance web design projects and I'm currently the web designer/developer for a non profit online magazine. I recently went back to school for a second bachelor's, this time in Graphic Design. I am fluent in English and Spanish.

What I'm looking for: A job in web development/design industry or something similar

Where I live: San José, Costa Rica (looking to relocate)

Where I'm looking: anywhere in the US/Canada, prefer somewhere with a gtood public transit system because I hate driving

When I can start: Pretty much as soon as possible, given appropriate notice for my current employer

Requirements: get me a green card!

Can be reached via: PM, vdaluz@gmail.com

Is relocation a possibility for the Project/Engagement Manager?

Unfortunately no, the company is not big enough to have a relocation budget yet.

Do you actually get people with all the skills you listed applying to be interns? The most I've ever expected an intern to have is a pulse.

I don't write the requirements, I agree it's kind of too much to ask but it's more of a wishlist really not hard requirements.
