下面仅向HELLO提一些面试的建议。
OK, I'll go for the English. Typing Chinese is really a pain.
6 months ago, I was trained by the HR manager for the interviewing skills. I can't recall which guide she gave to me, but clearly it is said in the booklet, asking for Canadian experience is prohibited either in the job ad or during the face to face interview. You may say this is a transparent lie, OK, I sort of agree with you. What I do not agree is, when someone fails the interview, s/he always use the Canadian experience as an excuse. As a matter of fact, if you can get the interview, that means the hiring manager is really interested in your background (no matter where), at that stage, it's all up to you, show him/her your technical know-how, your work attitude, your easy-going personality as a team player and blah blah...
If you fail this time, then go back, sit down, make a cup of tea, then check, if the failure is due to
1) You lie too much in the resume(right, resume is supposed to be a lie, but not a big lie) and get caught by the technical questions. To solve it, go to Carleton U or OU, take some courses to update your knowledge, or lie modestly in your next version resume.
2)Your communication skill is poor. When you apply for a technical position,e.g. developer, and your resume shows all your experience are all in China. I would say before the interview, the interviewer would expect your English might be a little bit broken, but not too much. Think about this, if you can't show the projects you have done clearly in a one hour process, or you can't understand what s/he says, how can you convince him/her you are the right person who will work with him in the future? To quickly solve it, try to practise the interview procedure with a friend again and again untill you feel confident. Not like talking in a pub, the topics are random. After all, in the interview, mostly you're talking about what you know.
3) Do you ask too much? The salary is important, but not that important. For the first job, you normally don't have some strengths for bargining. Asking a modest pay may put you in a good position.
OK it is too late, got to go to bed. We do have some positions for VC++ developer, keep an eye on the citizen.
Good Luck for your job hunting, Hello! </HTML>
