So far, I have had two job interviews last week and two more scheduled for this week. I have also submitted my resume at http://www.usajobs.com where U.S. citizens ONLY can apply.
I also reformatted my resume so that it's easier to read. On the first page I have a list of all my skills, divided into categories: software, hardware, operating systems, languages. I have also bolded the skills in the "experience" section so that, if they get past first page, they see exactly how I acquired and used those skills.
Oh yes, and I pray every day that G-D will provide for my family and not allow us to become destitute.
I was out over nine months last year .. I went completely thru my savings but I was able to save my house but it was close ... way to close. I now have a job that is remotely related to my expertise (ASIC design) it pays a lot less but it makes the mortgage. I thank GOD every single day for this job as I have a LOT of friends who not as lucky. I pray for you too as I know the pain and frustration that you are going thru. One has to live thru it to appreciate it ... that's one of the reasons why I get so angry at the free traitors. They would subject good honest hard working Americans to this just to make an easy buck ... without ANY loyalty to their fellow American and then they try to justify it by calling it "free trade" or "capitalism" ...
This will all stop as soon as someone in the media starts writing about the failure rates being experienced.
The cause of all this is Dilbert pointy-haired managers believing what is written by reporters. The reporters write in glowing terms about off-shoring, without once anywhere mentioning that it's failing everywhere it's tried.
Consider: in the recent past, these same folks told us
It's a lie. And if you want it to end, just get some reporter somewhere to do an expose.
Just look at the success rates of off-shoring. It's dramatic. In our case, we haven't been able to find one single success story!
