Contractors are always looking for work.
I love working for Chevron but the current economic situation leaves me working as a contractor and I prefer being a full time employee.
Please contact me if you have something I might be interested in.
We live in Spring TX near The Woodlands and have no interest in relocating, but the commute to downtown by bus leaves plenty of time for podcasts and audio books.
