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

161. if you didn't make it move on and don't blame communism for your loss

a lot of companies want to see how you act under stress and if everything doesn't go as was planned
if you cant adapt think fast move on with the flow and make do maybe you could not do the work regardless of skills /certs you have acquired

and if you have a problem with foreign accents or speaker phones maybe the STEM fields are not for you at this point in history

'Red China' as a term sorta dates you big time as does the 30+yrs.exp
both items esp. in this millennium too,( unless you are trying to be a Bircher )

It would also shock some to know that many immigrants become naturalized citizens and do not need a work visa and are aware of the going rate in their career field!
He had graduated from Shanghai University and previously had worked at Netscape tells you he has been around here for awhile and worked himself up to be the one who interviews you for Google IT but accents are harder to lose than visas.
I was born and raised in USA as a side note
