Ravi, I mentioned it because the way that I understand the program to work is that you have to provide proof to the State Department that you attempted to hire a citizen for the position. All that's required is a stack of resumes, and someone to say that they weren't right for the job.
I feel like many of the fishnet recruiters are collecting resumes for the sole purpose of providing that proof. IE: there is no intent to actually attempt to hire a citizen for the position. I could be wrong about how the program works, but this is how it was explained to me a few years ago. -- Scott Stewart ColdFusion Developer 4405 Oakshyre Way Raleigh, NC 27616 (h) 919.874.6229 (c) 703.220.2835 -----Original Message----- From: Ravi Gehlot [mailto:r...@ravigehlot.net] Sent: Friday, March 13, 2009 4:42 PM To: cf-jobs-talk Subject: Re: Thinking of a career change.. how does one get into Technical Recruiting..
