Western Australia Police (WAPOL)?

We Answered:

I can't help with WAPOL, but my sister is a Senior Sergent in Victoria Police. VICPOL is the force with the best reputation.

This showed up in my inbox today. What's your impression of it? Does it look legitimate?

We Answered:

They are headhunters looking for field engineers for Schlumberger Well Services.

I worked for Schlumberger when I first graduated. It's decent starting pay for an engineer fresh out of school. The work is not technically demanding, but the hours can be a killer, as you will be on-call 24/7 for 14 days at-a-time (then you get 4 days off (at least that's how it was back in the early 80's).

The training will be 6 weeks in a training facility (was in Oklahoma City in early 80's), where most of your living expenses will be paid.

The side benefits are excellent.

I also benefitted from the training in radiation (radioactivity theory) in my next 2 jobs after Schlumberger.

If you have any other questions about them -- e-mail me.

PS I know nothing of Nicholas Charles (other than they *have* to be a headhunter company). Schlumberger should pay their hiring fee. If they don't, try contacting Schlumberger directly.

What must be on priority ? Woman career or children's early brought up ?

In the west, both have to be the bread winner to survive in this crap economy. I have an awesome wife who works from the computer at home to make money and takes care of the kids at the same time when they come back from school. They are doing well in class BTW.

Could I please have my graduate school personal narrative critiqued? Thanks!?

We Answered:

This is a good first draft. However, I would remove the discussion of a potential weakness.
I would have preferred shorter sentences and fewer trite phrases. You also need to divide the statement into two or three paragraphs. I have not looked for grammatical problems, but none jumped out. I would remove all the parentheses and most of the material within them. If material is in parentheses, it really does not add to the statement. I would cut the length by almost a third. Much material is redundant. I would also remove most of the adverbs which start sentences. They add nothing, slow the reader down, and make some sentences sound stilted.

I hope you have found these general remarks to be helpful as I do not do word by word critiques.

Best wishes.

HELP, Legit or not. READ ALL OR just LETTER #3?

NEVER pay for anything with Western Union. There is no way to reverse it if you receive nothing. Do not trust an emailed invoice form eBay. Anyone can fake it.

PayPal is the only safe method at long as you do not trust phony email receipts.
