Dear P:
Thank you for your quick reply. I have 10 to 12 years experience and have
complete my NCARB, IDP, and jsut setting for my examinations now... Am I or
better yet my skills still considered a not skilled? Thanks for the kind
offer... I'm a East Coast girl...
I am looking into small firms such as one I'd like to open after completing
my ARE. I have taken a few sections already.
Thanks,
The Artist
