Update

My sincere condolences to the families of the "army men" who lost their lives in the accident. Guyana lost some talent.

I am working on the preparation of that audit resume I mentioned. I recall that I planned to move to the big city (away from DC) for a Financial Analyst job over 15 years ago. I was about to move when another opportunity presented itself. The opportunity was the auditor position. I learned a lot at that job/organization. My LinkedIn profile includes examples of audit reports I drafted (worked on as an auditor in the office). Those reports were also published (and they show my initials in the code on the cover page).

Bible Verses

Wisdom from the Holy Bible...

Proverbs 3:5-8

Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. Don't be wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD and shun evil. This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones.

Psalm 19:7-11

The law of the LORD is perfect, refreshing the soul. The statutes of the LORD are trustworthy, making wise the simple. The precepts of the LORD are right, giving joy to the heart. The commands of the LORD are radiant, giving light to the eyes. The fear of the LORD is pure, enduring forever. The decrees of the LORD are firm, and all of them are righteous. They are more precious than gold, than much pure gold; they are sweeter than honey, than honey from the honeycomb. By them your servant is warned; in keeping them there is great reward.

 

Fruit at a time in my life

My previous post made me think of fruit-picking at President's College.  Students picked jamoon and maybe mangoes (I don't remember much about this). I do recall that some students picked fruit during the time slot for meeting with pastoral parents. I recall doing other things during the pastoral time slot - in retrospect, they were beneficial; I recall a very different and enjoyable session.

I recall making a fruit salad during home economics class. I believe it was related to desserts. I wonder why the kitchen staff (the dining room) did not serve fruit.

Fruit in the Caribbean

The fruit I eat are usually store-bought. In stores, there is a lot of fruit available for easy purchase - displayed well and at a fair price.  As expected, fruit is "from the original source" fresh (the equivalent of farm-fresh) if picked from a tree. I remember there was much fruit-picking by children in Linden when I was young. Young Fahmeena picked fat pork and other fruit  (climbing the tree was usually out of the question - I prefer to get fruit within reach or low hanging fruit).

I tried to pick papaw (papaya) with a stick yesterday. I was unsuccessful so had to walk away disappointed. A relative sent a papaya for me.

When I was in Georgetown, I read somewhere that jamoon is in season. I am not sure whether it is in season in Linden. Apparently not.

Guava

I like guava including guava jam and guava cheese. I like both types or varieties. In the US, I could not find guava in stores. However, the pear (not the avocado pear) available in the US is a lot like the large guava.

Auditing Position

I have had success training/teaching others so a training position would work well for me. I am sure that my background (education, experience, and so on) would also get me an Auditing/Inspector General position. I have a lot of experience with audits. Early in my career, I provided information for Auditors to complete their audit of the processes and controls in capital planning. Later, I obtained a Financial Auditing position. I used my auditing knowledge in the Testing department within IT. Later, I understood processes and issues very easily in an IT Analyst position because of my auditing experience. I do not believe my current Analyst resume highlights my auditing experience adequately. I think I need an Auditing resume.

I have a research resume, an Analyst/Consultant resume, and a HR resume (all on LinkedIn). I think I need to add an audit resume.
