Personal
I worked in an office for over 35 years. I am looking for a position that is 100% remote and has flexible hours. I'm a dedicated, hard worker who pays great attention to detail. I'm very qualified for many different positions. I am able to work a 40 hour work week, I'm just looking for some flexibility in when that work is accomplished. I strongly feel I would be an asset to any company I work for.
