Re: Hiring Spoof

Hi SFNative, seems the person ducked out when I tried to sort out some trips to the west coast, guessing didn't want to do face time. Must admit, think I ducked a bullet there.

Re: Hiring Spoof

Hi THT, this is for a technical consultant role, so one of the main skills was communications, the interviewee was very good, the person I just on boarded had little skill here. I have been told the...

Re: Hiring Spoof

Thanks Pulaski,

Re: What will be our biggest challenges when we relocate to NJ

I honestly have no knowledge of your circumstances, but it sound to me you have one of those rare ex-pat packages (In fact my company no longer offers them) If you can I would grab it with both...

Re: What will be our biggest challenges when we relocate to NJ

Oh, one other thing, based on what you have said, I'm guessing they will pay for a relocation package, i.e shipping your home goods to the US, just make sure that works if they want to send you back....

Re: What will be our biggest challenges when we relocate to NJ

Honestly, the transition is easy (caveat, I have no experience with getting children in school, though what I have picked up here it shouldn't be an issue) I can only speak of NOVA here, my only...

Re: What will be our biggest challenges when we relocate to NJ

Sounds like you have the same sort of package I came across with, just for confirmation, are they also including utility's? I did not come with children, but that expat deal should allow you to save...

Re: How are Brits generally seen in the US job market?
