Using an opportunity, I wish to announce that I would consider interesting job offers (business, academia, tourism) in any country of western Europe / north America. Currently (August, 2013) I am living in Iceland (working as hotel receptionist) but I would be willing to relocate. Being Icelandic citizen I do not need any work or residence permits to undertake employment in the EU / UK area and can start working immediately in any EU state, UK or Nordic countries. I do not need visa for the North America / USA & Canada (but I would need work permit there). Feel free to contact me at + 354 8614478 (mobile) or you may email me at roman800@gmail.com. Thank you!
