Five years ago I did an internship as a back-end programmer at a company abroad. I had to come back to my home country to finish my undergrad studies, and thus the internship ended. The company said that I should contact them again when I receive my diploma, since they were really satisfied with what I did during my internship.
I finished my studies earlier this year and at the moment I am working as a full-time business intelligence (BI) developer.



I checked their website and saw that they don't have open positions for back-end devs nor BI devs.
Still, I was planning to send them an e-mail directly, asking for opportunities there. But I would prefer to work as a BI dev now...



How to ask for a job offer in this scenario, knowing that it has been a long time (about 5 years) since I did my internship there and how to "apply" for a different area than the one I did my internship before?



Also, I am afraid they won't remember me since it has been 5 years since I worked there and contacting them directly (without any open positions) will end up burning my image there.

          One-line joke

          A one-liner is a joke that is delivered in a single line. A good one-liner is said to be pithy - concise and meaningful. [1] Comedians and actors use this comedic method as part of their act, e.g. Jimmy Carr, Tommy Cooper, Rodney Dangerfield, Norm Macdonald, Ken Dodd, Stewart Francis, Zach Galifianakis, Mitch Hedberg, Anthony Jeselnik, Milton Jones, Shappi Khorsandi, Jay London, Mark Linn-Baker, Demetri Martin, Groucho Marx, Dan Mintz, Emo Philips, Tim Vine, Steven Wright and Henny Youngman and Arnold Schwarzenegger. [ citation needed ] Many fictional characters are also known to deliver one-liners, including James Bond, who usually includes pithy and laconic quips after disposing of a villain. [ citation needed ] Examples "A baby seal walks into a club." "A dyslexic man walks into a bra." (Anonymous) "There are three types of people, those who can count and those who can't." "Venison's dear, isn't it?" (Jimmy Carr) "An escala...
