ps: I am presently working as a Home Inspector but climbing into attics is getting a little more strenuous, thus I need a change. I need to work from home as I have only one car and my wife has various Dr. appt. and need the car. I know you can tell by my resume I must be in my early 70’s. I am in good health and I am able to work a full day schedule if that is what the job entails. Please give me a chance to prove myself; I know I won’t let you down. I have maintained a presence in accounting by being the Treasurer of a local Gideon Camp and churches.
