Tunneling in Iran...

Well, global economic meltdown, or not, I think this "Tunneling Director In Iran" job may be a tough one to sell, what do you think?


"Hello? Is that Super A1 recruitment agency?"
"Hello, yes it is."
"Ok, I hear you specialize in tunneling experts?"
"Certainly sir, we are known for it." - thinking, oh this sounds like a good commission.
"And placements in the Middle East are no issue?"
"Certainly not... the tax benefits can be very lucrative to candidates." - hmmm, could this be for Dubai Metro?
"Well, it is a senior level job, a tunneling director for a huge scheme"
"Really..?" - kerching!
"Yes, actually it is for a tunnel scheme in Iran"
"click! [phone is hung up]"
"Hello? Hello? No really, it is. It is for a proper scheme like Qumrud or Esefan...."
[dial tone]
"Hello? Helloooo..?"

You have to feel for the recruiters with this commission, no matter what you stance is on the is it / isn't it, is the Iranian governement using tunnels / aren't they using tunnels row surrounding Iran as the country has a contemporary and ancient history of ambitious tunnel schemes. President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran is a civil engineering graduate and is said to have worked in tunneling.

Mind you, they only require 15 years experience and I'm guessing they'll pay a premium. Maybe I'll spruce up my resume a bit...
