The best part I liked in your ad is "Training to start your own company after this."That compelled me to write the comment. So how and why would you train? Some companies do not want to hire entrepreneur minded guy because they may leave the job and start their own. So If I would say I want to be trained, then why would you hire me even knowing I will leave you one day?I have read about you many places and glad to know you ventured in many companies. Wish you good luck and keep doing good work to at least inspire a guy like me, who wants to be a successful entrepreneur one day
