Diva Cupcake posted:to be fair, it's equally as difficult to get a legit work visa in the EU without either being sponsored/transferred by the multi-national you currently work for, or being a highly skilled professional. the problem i see with h1b is it's abused by outsourcing companies who have the resources to file tens of thousands of visa applications for relatively lower skilled workers in places like india, rather than companies who are looking to bring in real talent that they can't find at home. hence why tata and infosys, both indian outsourcing firms, collectively own the majority of the entire h1b quota.

basically lottery systems are loving idiotic and the US system needs to start prioritising applications based on human capital like qualifications, work experience, language ability, etc, but certainly not on the output of a random number generator

since there was some talk about this the other day: should I even bother with targeted cover letters at this point unless the listing specifically mentions it? really doesn't feel like anyone reads them

Iverron posted:since there was some talk about this the other day: should I even bother with targeted cover letters at this point unless the listing specifically mentions it? absolutely yes. you should have a cover letter, and you should probably tune and tweak it a little for each job you apply to to be relevant (like this is about 5-10 mins of effort tops) most good jobs have actual human beings reading applications

any application with zero cover letter goes straight into the  obviously bad cover letters not quite so quick, but pretty close

it shows you're willing to put up with arbitrary filters with limited feedback if you're shooting wide and/or not desperate enough to mind that kind of rejection it's fine, but just take the 5 minutes. should be the same story you're telling everyone else on the phone, just put it through your types and don't get hung up on DEAR SIR OR MADAM,

Out of curiosity, what are you guys actually putting in your cover letter? Mine is pretty much thank you for considering me, here is a brief list of things in the job that match my resume, here's a small paragraph explaining any obvious weaknesses, you can get in contact with me at this email and telephone, look forward to discussing more with you, Butts McGree.
