Jorge, thanks for confirming the name of the country as Portugal.
The fact remains that some of our Goans still refuse to accept that good
things can come from Portugal too. If one Goan publicly writes a good thing
about Portugal, 20 other people will criticise him/her regardless of what
he/she has written is true or not.
I have come across several curriculum vitae from some Goans who have asked
me for advice on how to get a job here in the UK. Most of these Goans have
recently come from Goa as Portuguese citizens.
Usually, you write your citizenship in a cv/resume, right? Well, instead of
writing Portuguese Citizen, these Goans often write European Citizen. It
is almost like they want to hide their relation to Portugal - their own
country of citizenship! They are not aware of how ridiculous this situation
is at the eyes of a potential employer. Of course I do not save any words of
criticism to these shameful Goans! They are nothing else but opportunists.
Hopefully, employers pick up on these things and I know many do.
A person who hides his/her own citizenship cannot be trusted.
I would immediately bin a cv of a person who writes European Citizen as
citizenship. One has to be proud of the citizenship one holds regardless of
one's origin. Employers know extremely well which countries are in Europe
and which are part of the European Union. If one writes European Citizen
instead of writing his country of citizenship, that can only mean he/she is
hiding something. And a cv/resume needs to be as clear as possible.
Best regards

Subject: [Goanet] Re: European Union To Honour Goan Priest
WithCommemorativePost Card
1. What is the reason why anybody should feel shy to make publicly known on
this forum that the commemorative postcard to honour Abbe Faria is going to
be issued by Portugal (instead of attributing this gesture to the European
Union)? There is not going to be a European postcard but a Portuguese
postcard. Dom Martin approached the postal administrations of three
countries directly associated with the Abbe: of Portugal, of France and of
India. The Portuguese Postal Administration was the only one, of the three,
to respond favourably, even though Dom's approach was made after the 2006
programme of postal issues had already been approved for execution. The
issue of the Abbe Faria commemorative postcard on the 31st of this month has
therefore to be taken as being made extra-programme and as a special gesture
to honour the great scientist who, during his lifetime, brought glory not
only to France where he developed and practiced his theory on hypnotism but
also to Portugal, the country of which he was a citizen, and to his native
land of Goa. - Dom is, I understand, hopeful that the Indian and French
Postal Administrations will give due consideration to his request (supported
by a number of signatures) in 2007.
