Dear Editor,
It cannot even be filled by thousands of part-time jobs in a (maximum) Region – 6. Some might argue it is not an optimum offer. It is just the largest of empty range of positions across our Eldoradic Oil and Gas territory.
For example, to cross the Demerara Harbour Bridge (Corporation), you have to be a 1) Civil Engineer; 2) Shift Supervisor; but only if you are not interested in a ‘Career Opportunity’ as an Advertising Clerk – to publish other ‘Opportunities’, like Managing Director in Merchant Banking. If however, the latter is too ambitious a position, one can settle for being a Financial Accountant – in the hope of not suffering any ‘blackouts’ (at GPL).
Positions unlikely to be affected by the same ‘blackout’ disarrangement include: Assistant Database Administrator; Business Systems Analyst; GIS Technician – all of whose TORs (not JDs) can be accessed (quite appropriately) on the organisation’s website. So that written applications mean immediate rejection.
On the other hand, if you just want to enjoy your work, you can settle for being an Assistant Manager with ENTA FUN Park Inc.
However, none of these prospective candidates would be able to cope with the international position of Contract Analyst, who amongst a host of requirements education must include: “Fluent in English both written and spoken and excellent communication skills” while Core Competencies/Skills must include being a: “Team player with good communication and written skills” – incidentally, exactly the same for a ‘Treasury Specialist’.
Interestingly also “Good Communication and Interpersonal Skills” are amongst the range of knowledge requirements for the vacant position of Mining Supervisor. All the above in just one day’s publication – April 13 – a fateful number. Hopefully applicants are not superstitious.
Regards
Elijah Bijay
