Question:
Is there a shortage of Federal Government Resume Writing ?
How would reduction in skilled immigration ensure that all these
people would get approporiate technical jobs.
The point I have made earlier is that you shouldn't be asking the
federal government to help you deal with your own inability to assess
the quality of job applicants.
Answer:
-The more of
your postings I read the more I am convinced that you are not able to
pin-point problems or solutions very convincingly. From everything you
have said, it seems the best solution would be for you to force the
federal government to start a "resume writing" help center, so those
qualified would learn to break past the resume scanning barrier. If
industry insists on key qualifications (unix, c++, motif, whatever)
then the laid off bright peorson has enough opportunity in this country
to retrain themselves. I know of a guy who applied for a Labor. Cert.
advertisement position of software engineer. The only reason his resume
got sent in by the EDD is because his resume said "Desired exciting
sotware engineering position". The last time this person wrote code
was in 1977. Was in the Aerospace industry at various mid-level
managerial positions. It's hard to justify a gripe from such a person.
- The federal
government did not have to set up these programs (H-1B and employment-
based green cards) in the first place. We don't have to allow any
hiring of foreign nationals at all. But employers asked for these
programs and got them (often essentially in secret, by the way). So
the employers got what they want, and now they are complaining????
Instead, the one who should be complaining is Congress, because they
employers are abusing the trust Congress placed in them when the
programs were established.
-if money spent by the Government is *really* the issue, I am
sure employers would be more than willing to compensate the government on
such expenditure through increased H1-B processing fees.
If the above is not your main concern you should try to stay focused
in your arguments and not distract into "resume issues" and "govt. subsidies".
