    Hi,

    I'am a experienced yacht designer and have worked on projects ranging from space planning for Paul Allens Octopus to project managment for a yacht development company designing and making moulds for high volume production builders.

    I'm German citizen but have worked for many years abroad.
    Currently I am naval architect for a 40m+ yacht project.

    Due to some very personal changes I am looking for a new job starting mid/ end 2008. I know it's early days, but still.

    One of the countries I am considering is Thailand.
    Other countries, like European countries & the US or South American are considered as well, as long one can work and live there as a woman without harrasment or the like.

    Does anyone know of companies over there, who might be willing to employ me at a reasonable rate in one of the following fields:

    -Yacht design (Naval architecture & 3D CAD with Maxsurf & Rhino 4, space planning with Microstation or ACAD, project managment)
    -Architecture (3D CAD & visualsation with Rhino4 & VRay or Flamingo)
    -Office managment (I speak fluently English, German and French & some Italian)

    Regards & thanks for any thoughts,

    Franziska

    Maybe he wants to check out why Frosty is where he is? A less complicated laid back lifestyle.

    Thanks a lot, but...

    ....in the past 'I tried to get a job in the USA and the visa regs were such a lot of paperwork that the company and I finally stopped it.

    It was a smaller company though.

    Hmm, we'll see,

    best regards,

    Franzi
