Ideal Next Job |
| My ideal next job would either to teach ESL in a classroom in either the UAE or Kyoto, Japan or to gain a coating inspection job in either of these 2 locations. I enjoy both types of work and feel I would contribute a great deal to the company that hires me for either. |
Required Salary & Conditions |
| As a coating inspector I believe I am worth about 40,000 USD per year. As an ESL instructor, I am definitely worth $ 50,000 USD (assuming 40 work hours per week, and adjusted accordingly to fewer or greater number of hours). However, I am flexible, particularly with my coating inspection salary. |

Summary |
Twenty years ago I began industrial painting in the military, then went to school. After leaving school and working numerous painting jobs and other miscellanea, I moved to Greece where I made stained glass windows and taught English as a Second Language. This latter job I turned into a career and continued upon return to California.
Nearly 2 months ago I attended a NACE Coating Inspector course, where I attained my level 1 certification. I am prepared to work as an inspector or an ESL instructor. |
