Not with that scan - I can't read anything, not even the printing!

Can you scan at a higher resolution?

As Mike says, it would be better if you scanned at a higher resolution, then perhaps crop it down to just show the relevant part.

I think the 'intended occupation' reads 'uncertain' but can't make anything of 'present occupation'.

No. It's engineer, as Jen said.
