Dear All,
Advance wishes for Christmas and New year.
I'm an environmental engineer working currently with Degremont Limited as
marketing professional in Bangalore, India. I also have field experience by
running water and waste water treatment plants.
I'm seeking an opportunity outside India as i wish to relocate. I have a 5 yr
daughter as dependent. I have applied to some of the jobs in Australian Region,
but haven't got positive response. As my specialisation is water and waste water
treatment, O & M and marketing, i feel i have few opportunities. I'm expecting
some information regarding openings in middle east or Australia. Any suggestions
are also appreciated.
Thanks,
Regards,
Shilpa.
