In search of a European employment opportunity...

My resume below outlines my skills as a Software 
Engineer.  I have experience with C++, MacApp and Object-oriented design.  
I am currently looking for an employment opportunity in western Europe.  
I am available immediately and am interested in a contract or permanent 
position.  I have a strong interest in and experience designing user 
interfaces however I am willing to consider opportunities not directly 
related to user interfaces at this time. 

I am a Canadian citizen and currently do not have a work permit visa for any 
European country.  English is my first language.  I have a basic understanding 
of French and am looking forward to an opportunity to learn another language.

Please feel free to contact me if you require any further information.
