Saturday Star 2014-10-25 – Job Opportunities

October 27, 2014

Happy new year 1436 AH. Buy my recommendations, or through my Amazon store. Or get the Young Turks series (all 4 books). Where are those corporate sponsors? Or throw donations at me. I need RM360 to get The Star ePaper. Or go to umrah, whichever you prefer.

  • I’m lining up jobs for next quarter, for IGL Services. Whisper to (better yet, carpe jugulum) your boss, and send work my way.
  • Nothing interesting this week, though I hear that Technip is still looking for project engineers for Libra FPSO Project & Rapid. > 5 years experience. Send CVs to me, and a donation, and I’ll forward it on. Or save yourself some money, and send it to Technip directly.

Support your local bookshop!  Bookalicious at The Summit Subang is a good choice. I think they focus on trilogies, quadrilogies, and other ologies. Tell them I sent you, and enjoy the look of perplexity on their faces. Those of you who have dropped my name, thanks!

Food choice of the week? How if you visit Vietnam, how about visiting and updating GoHalalVietnam! for your food needs. For your other needs, talk to your local tour guide/ concierge / man on the street.

How about some references to improve your health?

Dateline 2014-08-10, Borneo Post Online:

United Pasokmomogun Kadazandusun Murut Organisation (UPKO) yesterday urged the Federal Government, which is receiving a five per cent share of the oil royalty from Petronas, to instead give it to the oil producing states.
