Posted By Steve M Granger Michael - need to know more about you and your intended career sector, have you asked at your local Branch? Might be a better place to enquire about work shadow etc. See IOSH web for details and meetings. Steve

Posted By jono 30 I agree with Tony.People like you Claire give H+S professionals a bad name.Little upstart.

Posted By clairel I posted my reponse for two reasons:. 1) As Swis quite rightly pointed out, too many people underestimate what a poor image bad grammar and spelling make. You want to be taken seriously then write seriously. I would help anyone with their grammar if asked and more should perhaps ask; and 2) The title of the post is IMO awful. Anyone who asks me what I can do for them is going to get a short response. Maybe something like 'can you help me' would have been better thought out.' On first reading the title the first thing that actually sprang to mind was 'ask not what your country can do but what you can do for your country!' Have a think about it. As I believe that this thread is the reason I have received an offensive email I shall now duck out. The matter has been reported to the appropriate bodies (The grammar in that email was rubbish too by the way!)

Posted By clairel Why was my post deleted? I didn't swear. I didn't insult. I wasn't offensive. I wasn't deliberately antagonistic. Why was my post deleted?

Posted By Swis Claire, AUG1 – Make sure that your posting is appropriate and relevant. If a thread deviates from these topics or strays significantly from the original question, it may be locked. THIS IS AT THE MODERATORS’ DISCRETION. Now that depends on which moderator acted this time. P.S. remember AUG4 -You must not use the forums to make complaints against any individual or organization. If the same moderator sees your above post, you’ll be barred from posting. Have a nice day.

Posted By Lee Mac Michael Dear me, this thread has had some strange responses for a guy merely asking for assistance. I would advise you speak with/ telephone a few companies in your main field of expertise/experience. Also make contact with a few H&S consultancies and explore the opportunity of a junior role to allow you to get the experience you need. Lastly but not leastly try a few of the employment agencies out there. There are opportunities still available out there although they have reduced in numbers over the last 12 months. Do a wee search on the web there are a few websites that specialise in H&S opportunities- try googling. Good Luck Lee
