Thread: Employment Opportunities

Received the following e-mail this afternoon:


Mark R'XXXX'
HR Manager at S( ) International Group

John,

My apologies the first message had several misspellings


We are looking for a Country Manager to oversee our operations in Mogadishu, Somalia. As you probably know we have the contract to run the airport there. Please let me know if interested to discuss.

Regards

Mark


Does anyone know where Mogadishu is???

I politely declined.....now....reflecting, is that something I should/could put on my CV?

we have a close family friend working for the UN over there, each time he returns we all give a sigh of relief. no idea what he see's in working there or the money must be very very good!.

A friends daughter is a RAAFie in charge of logistics ATM at Kandahar, disposing of all the ADF gear.

Her mum is currently having coniptions, she was playing me iPhone vids two days ago of various rocket attacks on the base Emm has sent home.

Emm was starting to get a teensy little concerned too when I spoke to her a week or so before she left.

Check out his Mog pics and reports earlier in this thread

I have been watching SBS television tonight, the documentary, 'Go back to where you came from.'

What is the answer to the fighting and misery?
Is it that you should take away peoples livelihoods, those people that work in arms factories building more rifles?

I asked myself why did the story get told of that, detainees felt they would be better off on the 'Island', rather than sitting in a foreign country waiting forever.
So I made a point of watching the background behind the people taking part in the documentary, there is very little of material things to see, but I could see that there is fear, the only certainty is a short life, with no future.

Have I got the answers within me and I'm unable to see it?

Are you watching the third part on right now

In the final episode, the Australians head for Indonesia. They live with a refugee family in Jakarta, desperate to get on a boat no matter what the risk. Reith, Deveny and Anderson travel to the island of Roti, a recruiting ground for people smugglers. But the young men they meet are not the villains they expected. The six Australians then become boat people themselves, aboard an Indonesian fishing vessel headed for Christmas Island and directly into the eye of a storm. Finally, with unprecedented access to detainees, the journey reaches an emotion-charged conclusion within the walls of the notorious Christmas Island Detention Centre.
