I am looking for employment for the summer. I am very intelligent, quiet,
and like challenges. I prefer to work in a relaxed environment, and prefer
to work on R & D projects or applications for intelligent users. Since four
months is not a long time, I am not expecting an unrealistic salary, only the
average for a 6th term co-op student ($450-500). I am willing to work almost
anywhere in Ontario, with a preference for Toronto or Ottawa, and I would
appreciate it if any replies were prompt. Thank you for your consideration
and time.
Sincerely,
Brian P. Dickson.
