Dear Editor,
It is at least disappointing to read the Vacancy Notice in SN of March 06 (Page 2) for the captioned position, in the name of the Permanent Secretary. Readers, particularly prospective applicants, would not be impressed by the poor construct and grammar contained in the following:
Range of Activities
● Operate/Maintain a periodic maintenance schedule (of what activities?)
● Supervise Administrative Staff (not technical staff)
● Assists in the preparation of the annual budget
● Prepare and distributes supplies to facilitate the smooth functioning of the Dr. Cheddi Jagan Dental Centre (skills required to prepare supplies are seen below)
See Qualification and Experience
– Diploma in Public Management/ Public Administration/Health Services Administration; plus 3 years in Management/Administration (without extractions). Intended candidates would probably read this with mouth agape.
Sincerely,
Conscientious Observer
