Hi fellow members,

Software knowledge :

Project involvement :

I have 7 years experience, fluent in English and Afrikaans and am finishing post-grad studies end of 2016. I would like to broaden my horizons and experience different work environments to what we currently have in my country. As I do not have an idea of the compensation levels in other countries, and as I do not have a specific country in mind, I am unable to mention a salary I am interested in. My preferred location is not too specific, and I am looking towards a position in the USA, UK, Western Europe (Denmark, Belguim, Germany etc.), Asia (China, UAE) and Oceania(Australia, New Zealand).

If there are any interested parties please contact me via this thread or send me a PM.

Thank you

Regards

Dirk Uys
