Personal Profile:
I have a two year degree in Computing, from Oslo University College, and I'm a member
of the Norwegian Engineering-organisation NITO.
I've been working within management for ten years, where of four years as a Shop Manager
in three different Rimi food-shops in Norway. In 2001, I won a Rimi Shop Manager-competition,
'Rimi Gullårer', and I received a letter from Forbes-billionare Stein Erik Hagen, where he
congratulated me on being hardworking and having very good management-skills.
At school I had very good grades, so I was allowed to study on the best business upper
secondary school, in the neighbour-county, Gjerdes Videregående Skole, in Drammen, Norway,
in 1988/89. And I have business upper secondary school degrees in Office Work, Marketing
and Computing.
In 1996, I was hand-picked to a special elite Home Defence-unit, in Oslo, Støtte-området,
after serving my conscription service, in the infantry, and also after being in the Norwegian
mobilisation army, before it was reorganised, after the end of the cold war.

PS.
Jeg ser at de margene er helt rare.
Jeg skal prøve å rette opp i det.
Da jeg gikk på kontor-linja, på Handel og Kontor, skoleåret 1986/87, så skrev vi dokumenter og sånn på skrivemaskin.
(Som jeg fikk karakter 6 i, forresten, både i faget maskinskriving og også i faget korrespondanse og dokumentlære).
Så sånn var det.
Men tekstbehandling, det er jeg ikke så god på, det må jeg innrømme.
Kanskje jeg skal laste ned Open Office, som har gratis tekstbehandlingsprogram?
Kanskje det er lettere med marger og sånn der?
Vi får se.
Jeg får prøve å få ordna det ihvertfall, for det så veldig dumt ut, la jeg merke til nå.
Selv om det ikke blir sånn på skjermen, eller på de tidligere versjonene av CV-en, som jeg har printa ut.
Så sånn er det.
Bare noe jeg la merke til.
(Som vel ikke var så lett å unngå, akkurat).
Mvh.
