ME, MY SHADOW AND MY PROFESSIONAL LIFE

Multitask person - keen on writing, lobbying, events & trade - wants to work for an international company : THIS is ME, even my shadow wants it. When I work I have two main targets : Reaching and exceeding my objectives which are those of my employers; Discovering new things about every little things. I took 15 months from my Professional Life just because I wanted to be fluent in english - and I did it, in fact now I'm polyglott (yes!!!) : all about objectives and MOTIVATION, isn't it?
