Let's Network! PROFESSION / OCCUPATION SURVEY!!

¿Qué hubo a todos?
In the spirit of helping each other out wherever we might be in the globe, I find the pressing need of creating a network of professionals to collaborate in different enterprenurship, cultural and educational projects, community issues, career advise, immigration counseling, job and housing referrals among many other topics.

The first step is to SURVEY who we are and what we could bring to the table.

Please describe:
1. Your profession or occupation (Artist, scientist, economist, business owner, translator, etc.)
2. Current job position. What industry?
3. Project interests and passion whether inside Colombia or abroad
4. Fortes that you can offer
5. Location and availability
6. Contact Info

So for starters:
1. I am a Biochemical Engineer doing my Master's in Pharmaceutical Regulatory Law
2. Regulatory Law Consultant. Industry: Biotechnology / Pharmaceutical Contract Research Organization
3. Primarily the spreading, strenghtening and the popular rooting of the scientific method in Colombian culture. Main projects:
a) The development of Biotechnology in Colombia and Latin America. I want to start my own Regulatory Law Consulting firm in about 5 - 7 years in order to have Latinamerican medicines approved by the FDA in the US and viceversa.
b) Another LONG-TERM PROJECT: The creation of the first English-language Latin American Think-Tank in Bogota to promote the values of the Enlighnment. Also, the creation of the first English Language Latin American newspaper as well as Latino radio (the like of NPR and BBC)
4. Fortes: Entrepreneurship, career counseling, networking, relocation advise among others.
5. Location: Midtown New York City. I live in Woodside, Queens, New York.
6. I can be contacted anytime at Colombuenazo at aol.com

I hope this is good start to pair up different PBH's to start working on various mini-projects of our choosing.

Let's HELP EACH OTHER OUT!

Thanks!

Actually, I don;t do shit all day, just sit in my rocking chair on the porch and watch the women walk buy, constantly saying to myself "AHHH, If I had only known then what I know now"

Semper Fidelis !

I think you guys are being not just juvenile but rather unpleasant too. I'd hate to start a serious thread here and get the kind of treatment you're giving to Buenazo.
Cheers, NOT!

children of invention most online profiles are fairytales, and it is good that way

anything you post online can and will be used against you

just one example: spybots scan public message boards and collect email addresses to add them to their databases and sell them to spammers.

I own and run an internet radio station which broadcasts in any language of the world, depending on the volunteer DJs. PM me is you are interested in that experience.

cheers,

don;t mean to be rude I don;t intend to be rude, but honestly, do you really expect a majority of us to post all that info on a public forum?

So yea, we are just having a little fun with it, NOT trying to be rude to the guy.

I KNOW, I KNOW, Ya just can;t take me anyplace.

Semper Fidelis !

Desideria (Moderator) says on Nov 2, 2005, 13:03:

BAQ no, you don't have to post all that information on a public forum. You may choose not to, but it doesn't mean that people who choose to do so should be ridiculed like that. Nobody's twisting your hand. I think that the intentions of the OP were honest and well-meant. We ought to be able to rise above common pettiness.

Cheers,
Desi

ColomBuenazo says on Nov 2, 2005, 14:02:

NOT LOOKING FOR YOUR SS # or CEDULA # !! Neither was I trying to get your DOB, marital status or any other data like that.

I just took the proactive step of laying the groundwork for a NETWORK of Colombians and Colombiaphiles who could help each other and the Colombia out.

I understand that some people are concerned with privacy (that's why I posted my info first) but I didn't request any vital statistics.

Anyhow, anyone still interested in participating is welcome.

¡¡PASÉNLA BIEN!!

as said ... I am interested in your radio/media ideas, since I do mulitlingual work in that area myself. I'm currently in the process of moving to Florida and have family in Germany.

I still want to raise the awareness to what all post about themselves, identity theft has become a nasty frequent crime.

PM me then we can talk more ...

Thanks,
Lionheart

Is that a joke? I always wondered where that word came from. I'm inclined to think you're kidding, but after Elmo's photo... you just never know.
