Default Re: H1b

Dear Cokey,

Yes I've got sponsorship by company A, B and C and now working for company D
for more than 3 years.

This company D helped me out to processing permanent residency application
too.

I never paid any extra money to get my initial H1B visa and transfer it to
other company.

Also, I have experience to hire the tech people (US citizens) for current
working company because I've titled as manager position from company D.

After post AD "Wanted" on internet and local news paper, I've received more
than 50 resumes within a week.

It just took me a 20 seconds or 30 seconds to check one resume and other in
most cases because I had no good
Enough time to carefully check it out all the resumes.

This would be the same thing for most of company in US for the hiring
manager.

Just quick check (Within a minute) and trash it into trash box next to my
desk.

Even someone sent me more than 10 pages of resumes!!

Do you think all the hiring manager could read this like 10 pages resume?

Simple is the best, but you must emphasize which area is your strong point
to make attractive your resume for hiring manager anyway.

One of candidate listed all his/her experienced area as like can do
everything!

I strongly believe that this kind of resume should fail too.

There is no correct answer which resume is the best or worst.

I wish your good luck for job seeking in US anyway.

Thank you.

Solar

Hi Cokey

I've been using h1base for a few months now with a full sign up service
where they email your resume to the companies directly.

I've had a few companies write to me. As part of a multi-pronged attack
I would say they are pretty good. They give you a full submission report
of who your resume has been sent to (in my case 100's). I've had some
good advice from the people there too.

h1base gives you a template for resume layout too.

I have been using dice and monster too in addition, using their search
agents in particular.

Best of luck.. I think you'll get a little frustrated doing this search
crap, I've been at it for a few months now

Thing is, you can do that with a number of other job finding websites,
and they don't charge you a penny as they get paid by the employer...

Well h1base has a full list of sponsor companies in your area they send
your resume to.. even if there are no jobs advertised they still send
them directly.

I read somewhere that 70% (probably wrong % I'm quoting) of h1bs aren't
advertised on job sites.. dunno the truth behind that but I personally
have been contacted by companies that haven't advertised.

Gotta be wrong, because to get the visa, the company had to have tried
to make an effort in hiring a USC or PR...so it seems unlikely that many
would scout overseas', not to mention the added cost of doing it...

Hi there,

I am thinking about paying for $495 USD to h1base, you said you've been
with them for a few months now, can you elaborate more on your
experience with them? Also since the 2007 cap was reached last week, is
there any point purchasing h1base at this point? My MSc and PhD were
both from schools in the US and both were in biomedical engineering
(actually more biology than engineering, hence the concern about being
qualified)

I would really appreciate your help on this.

Thank you in advance.

I agree with Ray. Had a couple of people call me but they turned out to
be uninterested when they found out I was out of the US. Like Ray says,
best chance is to get over here and bang on office doors imo

OR use some UK agencies that specialise in sending people to the US, I
know they exsist

Best of luck!

Anyone have any examples of these companies?
Sounds like that kind of thing will be very expensive, what can they do
differently to anyone else? Unless they have a lot of contacts who have
alot of availiable jobs!
