Thanks to all who were helpful and to all SHeik or whatever buzz off!


Well a more helpful OP wouldn't have drawn such responses. I know a lot of people who say "like" all the time in their speech but to frickin write it is another thing.

Try not to like say "like" you know every 5 like frickin seconds in your frickin interview, mmkay?

I sometimes say "frickin" myself. But then, there's no limit to how low my sense of humour may go. Shocked

Sorry you got flamed a bit, Tricia. But there may have been some valuable info in there- how to apply depends A LOT on where you want to go, and what you have on your resume. Without this info, your post really was a shot in the dark.

I'll respond to what LS650 wrote, because I think that it shows how much variation there is, even amongst countries that get lumped together as Latin America. I prefer greatly to hire before people arrive in country- because at the end of the day, getting a visa for someone who's already here is such a frickin hassle that I'm willing to risk hiring at a distance.

Some other schools feel differently, especially if they don't have my aversion to illegal employment.

Best,
Justin

Wow! I am impressed with how many feathers I ruffled...In fact I am a little bit scared and sort of wished that I didn't post it at all or perhaps at a time when I wasn't feeling so frustrated. And I will really try to restrain myself from using the word frickin in my interview...if I can.

It's more that you should have given people more info about where you want to go etc.

No feathers ruffled here.

Keep sending, and you'll get something.

Where are you, Jammish? Is that a capibara?

I'm in China... yes. it's a capybara - no relation to my location! Just thought it's an animal that deserves a bit more publicity.
