I have recently arrived in Dublin from Canada as part of the USIT Work in Ireland program. Having recently graduated from University with a degree in Finance, I was hoping to take on the challenge of finding work in new surroundings. My work permit authorizes me to work in Ireland until the beginning of May 2010 and I intend to stay here for the entire duration. I am very much interested in meeting to discuss my CV (attached) as well as any possible opportunities available. I can be reached via mobile at 087 061 9425 anytime during the day. Thank you for your consideration and I hope to hear from you soon!
