For those who think that there is a skills shortage, let me tell you about my Google job interview

[CreekDog]

125. Lots of people on DU get lied to, details actually do ferret that stuff out

mind you, you aren't being questioned about the pattern or color of the tie your interviewer was wearing and called a liar because you don't know it.

but when a fundamental part of your story is problematic, people are skeptical. mainly, because we've heard it all.

that said, the tech industry here in the Bay Area does seem to have its biases and they do use H1B more than my liking.

the issue here is the truth of your story, but not only that, it has to be *verifiably* true in some respects to have an impact.

if you can verify some things you've said, then that would make this pretty compelling. perhaps there is the issue that the other poster mentioned about the real purpose of the interview.

come to think of it, I know a guy that works for Google. American, white, young. not a hyper programmer, total free spirit.

i have to think about this.
