I just want to be up front and clarify that I'm not questioning whether the job postings should have been allowed to be posted, or anything like that. As far as a reading goes, they do indeed seem appropriate for postings. You're doing a good job and I'm not suggesting anything different. And so, the photo thing was actually a minor part of my question. What I really wanted to know was whether anyone on this list had any experience with Singapore companies, or what people's opinions were as to whether the two job postings I linked to were from the same company or not. Ignoring the photo thing, the desired skills descriptions and email addresses and so on, as well as the timing and other details, suggests to me that these might be from the same person, though other details suggest not. -- Darren DuncanThread Previous
