Работа в Калгари
Уважаемы форумляне,
Занесла меня судьба (собственной волею) из Нью-Йорка где отработал системщиком 6+ годков в немаленькой конторке Reuters и по причине H1B решил рвануть когти в Канаду. Калгари приглянулся по климату. Но вот с работой тут как-то упорно не везет. За 3 месяца сходил только на 3 интервью и 0 резултата. Резюме достаточно сильное и распихал его по всевозможным местам. Подавался уже на около 100 разных работ.
Вопрос исконный "Что это млин такое?" и "Куда дальше валить?". Нормальная ли эта ситуация и не трачу ли я зря время сидя здесь и уча AD?
Спасибо за совет,
MoreKings!
