Looking for a job.

After getting the accomodation actually I am looking for a job here in Dublin. That's a thing that it's not so easy as it seems. Mainly I usually do it by some of the websites such as: www.irishjobs.ie www.jobs.ie ,... and giving the CV's door to door as well.

I am writting this email to show you one of the Additional information forms I had to answer (see it below the dots line). Just some questions about it:

- What happened if I was a white hispanic and my father had lived all his life in Japan and had got married with an american indian?
-What does mean when in terms of sex says is not applicable? What about the people who are half and half?
-What is a major life activity? Perhaps for me reading is a major life activity and if I don't have a book....
I found absolutely amazing the question about veterans. Give peace a chance please. Well I have to say that there was also the option "Not a veteran".

As I did with the accomodation, if someone knows a job for me in Dublin, just send me an email, please do not hesitate:
