Sorry I can't post to the net due to a software fault here...please post what follows if you want. I too am fed up with Marilyn Dee's advertising posts and its racialist (and I guess illegal) disclaimer. Firstly, if they used the old American phraseology and said "English need not apply", at least they'd have been brief and to the point. Butr secondly, to my knowledge it isn't true anyway, since so many people I've known have had no difficulty in finding work in the U.S., it's just a matter of having the skills they want and, of course, being willing to uproot oneself.

You are lost and confused. The job posting is consistent with American policy in the hiring of employees for Defense related jobs. There are also many companies that do not want the hassles related to the hiring of nonAmericans (visas, etc ...). Lastly, from what I hear from the people I know who have went to the UK in search of work, they found a very hostile group of people (ENGLISH), who don't want Americans taking their jobs. At least in America it is done for reasons other than the preservation of jobs for Americans. FML An American Dreamer "If anything it is the English who don't want Americans taking their jobs"

(Please don't insult the English, Americans speak "American English") I wasn't criticizing the English. I was trying to place some fool who posted a political remark on comp.ai in his place. So I suggest that you learn to read and properly comprehend American English before you reply to a letter written in American English.
