dear eagle you are right about what you think.

I just indicated the titles of my business segments instead putting overall`s.

I am just about to complete my personel particulars and those indications what you are posting is something major what employer would to see on CV!

Thanks for your supportive approach

He is responding to your response to me. Based upon what you wrote, I would not consider giving you an interview. Here is why.

a) You are passive: "I have taken part in selling,marketing,contracting" instead of proactively telling me what/how much you sold/marketed/contracted.

b) You've not demonstrated any increasing responsibility.

c) I have no idea what your last two sentences mean.

Let's be honest here, you talked about "excellence" in English in your first post on this thread, but your posts don't show anything like an excellence in the language, so that's not going to help your chances in Singapore as your other languages are in a very very very small minority here (assuming you show a better level of "excellence" in those than you do in English)

here i do not need to use complex words or propositions!

I do not need such sophisticated dictions,its enough to be apparent

It's nothing to do with using big words, and everything to do with writing sentences that are long-winded and difficult to understand.

You remind me of a previous poster a month or two ago who was criticised for his English then went off on one using all kinds of weird and wonderful vocabulary without realising he was just digging himself deeper and deeper as his sentences made no sense, I may try and dig up that thread, I believe SMS had quite an entertaining tete-a-tete with him

I was just thinking the exact same thing. Seems like MS remembered him as well. I wonder if he's one and the same? Seems he was using babelfish or some such to write the messages. Exactly the same types of usage errors.
Wasn't the guy from Turkey?

Interestingly enough, this guy's from Turkey as well! But the IP addy is different. Wonder if all Turkish dudes are the same?!?

Just found the other thread, looks like you all have already deduced the same! :D

Maybe not Turkish, maybe just all Oezcans?

He's the same guy with a new nick. His old nick was sarinho and for all his supposed education, his English isn't.
