Hi FlyingDodo,

Thanks man!

Well, I do have -some- managerial experience, I managed a small internet cafe back in south africa. Other than that, the majority of my job experience is related to IT support, some web design and some development.

Once again, I'd be willing to make a transition in or outside of my industry - Dubai wouldn't be attractive with minimum wage lol
