They found one guy for both jobs! Canadians are smart and capable!
H-1B visas and outsourcing are the MOST EFFICIENT method to DISCOURAGE U.S. students to study engineering and science. They would have to be UTTER FOOLS to invest time and money unless "free" trade policies are curtailed.
What an out-and-out, bald faced lie.
The only way this could be true is if they weren't looking for qualified U.S. candidates.
All that matters is this quarter's numbers.
You got that right. I'm an EE trying to get a start, and I run into this all the time. They must assume you're too stupid to pick up a new software package that's used in your profession. Even more frustrating is if you know one package, and they want somebody that knows another package that does the same thing (schematic capture programs come to mind), but the HR bubble-head chycks don't know that.
What does an "American" name look like? Be sure to come back and let us know whether your prejudices were satisfied.
"We leverage onsite, offsite and/or offshore expertise to turn your business vision into practical reality." A "need" to play more golf is a good reason?
Yup. So far in my job search, the only calls I've received from recruiters came about because I'm a US citizen, and the work required a security clearance or being able to get one. I wouldn't be surprised that by the end of the decade the only place you'll find US citizens in engineering is in the defense industry, although I don't doubt that somebody's working on a way to get rid of that security clearance requirement.
So, imposing tariffs on foreign-manufactured products will cause more U.S. students to study engineering and science?
The average tenure of a Fortune 500 CEO is about 4-5 years, before moving on. The CEO does not care what happens after he's cashed in his stock options and either retired or moved on to another company.
Like Neville Chamberlain who promised "Peace in our time" in 1939, these CEOs are promising their Boards "profits in our time", and planning on bailing out before the crash
Are you suspecting them of commiting a criminal perjury?
That was understood. Worse, they'll have the cash to invest in that foreign competition while shorting their former company!
Heh, yeah. OrCAD is one example. I did schematic capture with 7.2 at school, and the current version is 9.2. Given how slow universities are at getting new software, how can you possibly hope to get experience with the current stuff? And don't even get me started about the glacial pace that universities have when it comes to updating their curriculum.
If American workers lack the needed skills this is only proper that they train their replacements. Makes perfect sense.
You are assuming stupidity, rather than a deliberate effort to disqualify all applicants other than the (H1B) applicant they really want to hire, and whose resume they used to write the qualifications for the fake "ad"
Bingo! You got it! Of cource it has to be comprehensive, not just the tarrifs on goods or services, but also prosecuting the H1-B fraud, tax breaks for hiring Americans, prosecuting outsourcing of sensitive technology and of personal data transfer. Etc, etc ...
I would also include the protection that in case of shortage of technical jobs the college debt can be cancelled. Wall-Mart employee will never be able to free himself from such debt. Lower the tremendous risk of technical study!
