Default Looking for work

My wife and I visited the North of the island a few months ago and fell in love with the country and the people. We are both scientists (Marine biology/zoology BSc, Fisheries biology MSc and Oceanography BSc). We are looking for work with government or private agiencies in conservation, national parks, environmental or scientific fields. We are also interested in starting a reef fish captive breading centre with a view to restocking fishing grounds and exporting tropical captive bread fish. We would like any info on imagration, how to buy/rent property, fishing and employment laws ect.

Many thanks

Mark

You are nasty. How can you criticize about spelling. It is written in English. There is something called typos.

Angela. The person that wrote the "I'm looking for work" is a highly educated person from England where I assume he learnt the Queen's English. I'm sorry if your bothered by my comment, but if I was looking for work I would think that a prospective employer would expect correct English from such highly educated people. The words are " breeding " and " bred " the keys are quite far apart on the keyboard. "immigration " agencies "

That's true, Bob. I agree with the bred and breeding comments. It was repeated, so is unlikely to be a typo. The fact that someone is looking for work should make an individual especially careful to avoid making errors in the solicitation.

Now, living in glass houses. What about your message above? You used "your" when you meant to use "you're." See, no one is perfect. We are all quite capable of making errors, especially when we are in a rush. I "no" I do.

Default You missed the fact that

"english" should have been capitalized!! Tch, tch!! LOL!!

I agree whole-heartedly that one should be careful if looking or requesting work, particularly with things like spelling and grammar....

Perhaps you chose Marine Biology because of your passion for marine life. Best of luck to you in finding work in your field.
