*************


My preference is for this opportunity to go to someone 
who can use this job to improve his or her situation. 
I do not expect this person to stay in this job for 
more than one year, but it'll be many months of steady 
income so long as they are disciplined and use this time as a 
means to live while they work on the "next thing" for themselves.


If you know someone, please have them schedule an appointment with me:
