| I think you need to be more specific about what she's looking for --
geographical location? type of product? software? hardware?

The request was a bit indirect so I don't know all the details.
I believe it was software and she lives in Barrie, Ontario which
is an hour north of Toronto. I do know she would relocate, so
am not sure the geography is important. I only ask here as
my understanding is that the college recruitment program in my
group is focused on US citizens.

| 4364.3 | Don't send resume to personnel dept. | STAR::JACOBI | Paul A. Jacobi - OpenVMS Development | Mon Jan 15 1996 19:12 | 10 |
| When I was in college, I asked a visiting Deccie for advice on where to
send me resume. His reply was, "Whatever you do, *DON'T* send it to
the personnel department!" He then inquired about my interests, then
jotted down some names and addresses of people within Digital to
contact. That was pretty sound advice because, this July is my 10th
anniversary!

| 4364.4 | UK is (or was) just as bad at 'losing' resumes | CHEFS::RICKETTSK | Rebelwithoutapause | Tue Jan 16 1996 07:15 | 13 |
| The problem with personnel 'losing' resumes seems to be (or certainly to
have been!) pretty Digital-wide. I heard that it was a good idea not to
just send a resume in at random, but got it directed via the manager of
the department I was after working in. He was able to chase it and make
sure something happened, and my tenth anniversary is this week!
A short time later, a friend asked me to send in his resume; not having
any contacts in Sales (where he wanted to go) I sent it in to
personnel. He heard nothing for ages, then out of the blue got a job
offer (without an interview!), two days after he had started at another
company! He didn't accept it.

I this is because of the visa problems. THe INS seem to view a
Bachelors degree as being held by someone who is still in need of
training to become productive. On the other hand a Masters degree holder
is perceived as bringing skills into the Country. The bottom line is
that if this person has a Master's degree they will have a lot easier
time of it!
The LKG Personnel folks were quite knowledgeable on this, well at least
they were a few years back.

| In Canada college usually implies "non-degree community college" very
few Canadians would call a University student a college student, there
are analogs of what US folks call College but the can only grant
degrees under the auspices of a University, so for example my wife has
a degree from Bethune College at York University.
I've sent a mail to the original author with the name of the hiring
manager in Digital SI for the Canadian PSC.
