While a part-time position is perfectly OK with me, what I am seeking is something of a permanent position.
Thus, no one-shot or sporadic gigs, please.
My apologies for not including my phone number here, but with ID theft and all, I thought it wiser that I request initial contact be made via e-mail.
Also, when you e-mail me back, please indicate the name of your company and the position -- not just "Call Me".
Thanks
