| I worked in Dunnes Stores from October 2003 to January 2004 in

employed in a large organisational structure with several different managerial levels. |

The other years I was responsible for the maintenance of Safeheight's computer network,
the upgrading and repairing of their PCs and Systems Software, and the design of their
website. |

with their homework and show them soccer skills. |
