Default Multilingual Canadian Looking for Employment

Hi,

My name is Daniel McMullin and I am currently living in Santo Domingo. I came on a 3 month contract on a project with the Canadian Government to assist a local NGO, la Fundacion para la Prevencion y La Salud Bucal De Los Niρos. My contract is up and I would like to stay, but would like to work in a different environment. I am primarily looking for work in Santo Domingo, but would be willing to work elsewhere if the work is interesting enough. I am very familiar with the country and it΄s ways, and I am fluent in Spanish - Dominican even!
Below is a copy of my resume, cut and pasted from word, so please forgive me if it doesn΄t look the best. If anyone has any leads, it would be greatly appreciated, I can be reached by PM or by email at danielmcmullin@hotmail.com

Thanks in Advance,

Daniel McMullin

I have no leads for you, but the question begs to be answered, in light of all the details you have given us, why the nickname?

I΄m a dual citizen, Uruguayan-Canadian. Lived in Uruguay a large part of my life, my accent in spanish is Uruguayan. Canada is what is known as a hyphen-nation, i.e. your identity goes more with what is hyphenated rather than the canadian part, hence the nickname.

***

I would also like to thank those that have sent me leads

Hello once again!

I would just like to bump this thread up, as I will be looking for employment in Santo Domingo shortly. I will be returning to Santo Domingo at the beginning of March, and would appreciate any leads for employment. I am currently working for the Ministry of Health, in Ottawa, ON, Canada as web-posting coordinator. As mentioned I am fluent in several languages, am a fast learner, and work well with people. If anybody has anything, please send it my way.

Thank you,

Daniel McMullin
