I often find recruiters and etc. –tending not to submit me for lower compensation and drafting jobs. Let me assure you I am interested and “would not be bored” (as I will find ways to implement software or automation to simplify my duties and I tend to have a loyalty to whomever I am employed by and attempt to finish all contracts unless a major significant offer is extended for permanent employment. This is why there are lots of contract positions on my resume although I am always seeking permanent / long term employment.
I am primarily seeking Perm or temp to perm opportunities in the Atlanta metro area.
I am open to short term contracts and temporary employment.
As far as commute is concerned, my previous position required a 1-1/2 to (worst case scenario 3 hr) 1 way commute to Marietta GA for the previous 2 years. Commute is not an issue for me if compensation and flex time allow for it.
My salary expectations are:
MIN- 18-19 per hr or 36k per year for Drafting (depending upon commute)
Typical- 20-21 per hr or 40-42k per annum
Design:
Min 41k per year or $20 per hr Typical 45k per year or $22 per hr.
Last salary 52k per year $26 per hr.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any positions which match my background.
Unfortunately at present I am unable to relocate or take long term contracts away from the Atlanta area due to family issues.
