Hi:

I am currently working for a finance company and my salary is in the mid 50s. Last week I got an email from a Recruiter for a English and Nepali Linguist position  to work as a contractor in Iraq. They are paying 150,000 dollars for one year. And he tells me that I can terminate the contract anytime. It will take me three years to make what I can make at this contracting job in one year. Then in one year I can come back to the US, pay off my debts and maybe even invest in a house. I have talked with few friends about this and they all tell me that this money is not worth going to Iraq. I am so torn. I need your advice. What do you suggest I should do?

ps. I am a Nepali female and I do qualify for the position.

आफ्नै चिहान खानेर र  कात्रोको को ब्यबस्ता गरी  कमाउन  जानु कसैलाई पनि नपरोस।

An interesting comment that I would like to make. After reading this postings, a Nepali girl contacted me via email asking me to send the details and the contact information for the recruiter. And I did just that and connected to the recruiter plus sent her the details of the postion. The recruiter contacted me asking me to send him her contact number. So I am thinking that the two connected. I would think, had it been me in her postion, I would thank the sender for connecting me to the recruiter and for sending the details of the position. I think this is common courtesy and proper etiquette especially for those who are educated and are professionals. But nope, did not hear a word back from his girl. Her name is Sandhya Sharma. I am very surprised to see her lack of courtesy. WOW.

Am I wrong in expecting to hear back from her? Please post your thoughts on this. Am very interested to hear what you guys have to say. Thank you again.

 

Come on guys, somebody should have an opinion on this one.

Come on guys, somebody should have an opinion on this one.

Nope !-- BiirrrD.   One cannot not communicate.

As the Buddha said, "he who helps others shouldn't expect anything in return."  Help people from within and you've done your part of the deal.  Apply this principle to your life and see how easy your life would be.  Why even worry and piss yourself out on someone you never knew or never ever will?  Its their loss that they lost someone like you who had only the good intentions (in this case: provide help in finding a job).

Samsara:  You are right not to expect anything from anybody. I do try to do that and at this time, I did do it with good intentions. Am not expecting any recognition or credit but was shocked with the etiquette part. I guess it is my naivette in this situation. I hope she gets this job if this is something she wants to do. And I would not want to know any details/progess about her coz if life is to take unpleasant turn for the person I referred to, I would not be able to live with myself. So I guess it is good after all that she did not reply. My two cents.

Samsara, thank you again for your insight.

 

O Anamika bhanne jantu,

     Get the fck out of here.

Anamika, I guess the person you referred for the job is pissed that she didn't make the cut (as per her above post)  :)  :)  :)   Can't believe the bitterness here!!  LOL

This is how immature Gazadi is. Maybe his brain is fried from smoking too much gaja. This is all I have to say at this time.

1	Gazadi	RE: Hey Anamika, don't u have a manner or wat?is that only u know 'f**k'?may be u were brought up watching sex play between ur father and mother ,n the only thing u know is f**k.I didn't like wat u write.so,I just commented on ur thread.....thats my freedom...If u think that ur linguist position is really worthwhile,wat the heck u r looking until these days

Guys,

  I didn't save the message she send me...If u read that message it was horrible.I just commented on her thread that I didn't like wat she was doing...instead,she wrote me motherfgger,u fck...so thats why i wrote this message.I am not gonna stay idle if someone curses my mother,my family abut wat they haven't done.

  Listen, u bitch Anamika......until u think wise,no matter which degree u earn,how much u earn(mid 50s,70s) u r still a god damn illeterate. 

Yeah you can tell all the lies you want about me talking badly about your father and mother, jerk. I did not do that. I guess it justifies you talking about my parents then, huh jerk. Get a life and take a English class so you can improve on your spelling and grammer. If you do that maybe you will get to the position where you will be making comfortable with a good salary and benefit from a professional position rather than doing a 14 hrs shift seven days a week and saving money by shacking up with 20 people in one room. And drink excessively when you get home and playing marriage or poker.

Get a life. And do not go into the trouble of replying to my threads. I don't need educated and enlightened opinions on my illiterate and uneducated threads. Have a great day.

 

Wt the fck u think abut urself.......i don't need to take an english class alrite u bloody bitch....n i m not a seven day worker .......I never started to curse.it was u who started.....give a shit abut others.....i know wat is life and i m clear abut that.u don't need to teach me....

And one thing bitch,

     If u are earning mid 50s why don't u apply for $150,000 job?

I can if I want to but I made an educated choice that money is not important for me at this point in my life considering the potential danger involved. I qualify for this postion for your information. Maybe you should apply for it, I can send you the details and the contact information for the recruiter. You know it will be a lifetime's earning for you to make and save $150,000. And kindly do not use the b word, it does not suit an educated and enlightened man like you to use such filthy language. If you want to reply to my message, please  use respectable English. You can take couple of days to reply if you need to coz you might need to consult your friends and a dictionary to come up with a decent language and reply.

It is Nepali men like you who drive Nepali women to seek partnership with men from other backgrounds. I just want to let you know that you are such a shame to a Nepali Community.

 

Go back and look once again.....who started to used such kind of abusive language,me or u?Who u r to call me a mother fgger?Everybody loves their life.....Don't talk those things to others..if u don't like when somebody talks to u.U r not the only one who loves ur life....we may not have enough money as u but still we have near and dear ones and we also don't want to put ur lives at risk..............

  Hey,tell me one thing wat do u think,life is only important for u guys?who are we and those people who are struggling with their life?The very first time when i read ur thread,i thought u were a sensible person but now i think u r totally dumb and let me tell,u r in a state of "moratorium".Last but not the least,nothing to say abut Nepali women seeking partnership with men from other backgrounds....may be they find more pleasure and happiness from other men than from a stupid nepali mam like me.

Yup it looks like you got my point after all. Sadly to say, yes we do get more pleasure and happiness from men from other background, not to mention the RESPECT AND RECOGNITION for our hard work and accomplishments. And I do want to mention that I do have few Nepali men friends who are extremely intelligent and highly successful. Apparently there are few intelligent and good men on Sajha as well. My observation has been Samsara.

I was only offering to send you the details of the position and it was going to be totally your choice to pursue. I am not discounting the value of your life nor to discount your hard work and struggle. We all struggle in different levels especially in this country. I am not putting a gun to your head to take this linguist position, that is of course considering that you qualify for it.

Well I am going to stop blabbering. It is not productive to spit venom and insult others. So I am going to go take care of my other projects. BTW I am off today from work. It is rainy and dreary in Maryland today so this is the best decision I made today. And to tell you that if you do pursue to improve your skills, you can get a professional job which offers paid time off ( Yeah I am paid to stay home today and pick on your pea brain).

Chao everybody. Hope you meet you guy in other more productive threads. And Gazadi, have a pleasant day. Am not sure how the weather is in NY. Take care.

I am totally with you Anamika1 that it was ungrateful on the part of the other girl to not to acknowledge your help. But I think you would have made a stronger case for Gazadi to take an English class if you had written:
a) "take AN English  class" instead of  "take A English class"
b) spelled 'grammAr' instead of 'grammEr'
:)

Ya..the weather sucks!

Guest4: You know how it is when you reply to message when you are emotional. Or maybe this is an indication that I should take a refresher English class too. ;)

And thank you for your support. You know what this weather makes you want to do? It makes you want to cuddle in your cozy, warm comforter with a huge bowl of popcorn with tons of butter and watch a really good movie.

 

anamika1, i also support u. you have valid argument.
