Web designer interests me the most, because I like designing things and I don’t find it boring.

Hi I’m Tim. I’m interested in the position of web designing. I learned how to use Dreamweaver back in year 11; therefore I’m quite confident in using Dreaweaver to design a website. Although I don’t know how to use some programs such as MOSS 2007, but I’m a fast learner, I can always learn how to use new programs.
