Michael Quinn’s Summary

Have been designing websites on a personal and professional basis for over 10 years. Self employed freelancer since 2003. Recently been exploring the possibilities of what's called Social Marketing and Media - sites like Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Ning etc. I think most companies big and small can benefit from using these sorts of things.

I am also a qualified Trainer and Assessor having just updated my Cert IV TAA qualifications in 2008. With my range of experiences and background I would be competent to Train / Assess in many areas.

Immediate goals are to complete a lot of self developed websites and VRE that has been on the back burner for a while. Plus also looking to push into more freelancing work thru sites like LinkedIn, Guru, eLance etc.

Looking to expand my Training / Assessment experience with some sessional appointments.
