I'm trying to explain to a agriculture company to hire me as either a apprenticeship, grower, general laborour, based on my experience as a grower and propagator of salt water reef organisms. I'm a little eccentric and have a autism, here it is:

Resume:

Hobby/Trader:

Successfullyestablished and ran over ten tropical salt water reef ecosystems. Specializedin the aquaculture and trade of shallow to middle reef organisms such as exoticcorals ranging from softies, small solyp stonies to large polyp stonies. Alsocultured copepods, phytoplankton and sponges. Built systems by plumbing,lighting and using carpentry skills. Grew wild collected corals, propagated themto turn them into aqua-cultured organisms more adaptable to a closed artificialreef system environment. Took pictures, posted them onto the internet, shippedthem through the mail or traded them directly from my house or met up with myclients in-person to conduct the trade transaction.


Part of my cover letter:


Aquaculturing also known as aquafarming, is what I wasresponsible for when I farmed marine aquatic

organisms such as sponges, copepods, phytoplankton and corals.One of the most complexed and

diversed ecosystems on the planet happen to be coral reefs,only rivaled by the amazon rainforest.

During my twelve years of setting up, cycling andestablishing coral reefs within my home aquariums,

I’ve learned that setting up your salt water reef aquariumcorrectly to begin with, great husbandry and

maintaining equilibrium of proper lighting, water flow,feeding strategies and water chemistry, is key to

a healthy crop so that you will have a fantastic harvest. One type of organism that I farmedwere corals,

corals are farmed by coral farmers, which is also known as coral gardening. Thefarming of corals is used

for conservation, income, and by scientists for research. Businessesand private aquarium hobbyists also

use coral farming for the supply of live ornamental coraltrade. When I farmed corals I would buy them

from a retailer then acclimate them in my reef aquariumwhere I would then grow them out to a larger

size. Then I wouldslice 75% of the bought crop of corals up with the precision of a medicalsurgeon of

1 coral into 4 to 8pieces. From there I would grow thecuttings into adulthood and trade 75% of them.

Before you know it, I would have a whole flourishing diversecrop of different types, colour and patterns

of corals within my reef aquarium ready to grow out andpropagate even more. It’s like a cycle, like

empire building, likea tree that always needs pruning, like trading apples for oranges, apples for

potatoes, potatoesfor wheat, and so on, like the good olddays. This cycle cost just a small investment
