Miguel,
I'm not sure if there are any jobs here in U.S. that are sponsoring international workers, but I'll look around. In the meantime feel free to send me your resume, so if I find something I can submit it.
Gracias y tengas un buen dia. Deseo que tienes buen suerte buscando por el trabajo.

The experience section of my resume lists job title, comapany name, start date - end date then under that I list the things I did there. I need to add a consultant job. I only did it for one company. Should I put Consultant company name start-end date or should I put Consultant Self-employed start-end date then under that tell the company name that I consulted for.

"Hi my name is David and I am not a recruiter"
This was something I asked when I came to redo my CV a couple of weeks back and this was the advice I was given...
Can you break it into two seperate entries? For some jobs showing you have given self employment a go (even if you didn't succeed at it or if it was for a short time) tells a lot about your character to your benefit, and you should briefly list your main duties for yourself under the "Consultant Self-employed" title - even if they are fairly trivial for the position/s you are applying for. Then mention the company with the same start-end dates and list the duties you did there seperately.

Thanks! I went to your website to see your resume. Unfortunatly it wasn't available but you did offer to sent it. Could you send it please? I like your SouthPark freelance developer guy. Can I use him?

Never mind, it was just to point out that I am not writing that from a recruiters POV.

Nope, down here in Devon we use 100% whole clotted cream drowning in 100% whole single cream. Loverly. :yum:

I can already code in C++ EXTREMELY well. I design most all of my applications in win32 I do fully understand how to program in MFC as well. Most of my programs are usually DirectX or OpenGL games that I write in my spare time in C/C++ using MSVC++6. I was wondering what would be a good choice for me to do. I have tooken a few college classes yet they don't really hold my intrest what so ever. Im really not intrested in going to a 4 year college to learn Visual Basic. I don't like visual basic and I would rather learn something really useful and acutally apply my knowledge. It seems like whenever I want to learn some thing by the time I have reached the point where we are going to learn it I am already way past what they are trying to teach me if you catch my drift. I am wondering exactly what to do. I really want to go into the buisness field yet it seems like im in a complicated situation. I do however intend to take a few more college classes after I graduate mostly in physics, math, and programming if possible. Does anyone have any suggestions to how to find resumes of the area of "computer game development" and what the employers are currently seeking in inviduals entering the industry. I already have a fairly decent resume on gamasutra.com if anyone has any other suggestions please post them.

What do you mean when you state "I really want to go into the business field yet it seems like im in a complicated situation"?
I have a BS degree in Business and have worked as a programmer and/or manager for many years. I owned a business for a while. You don't need a CS degree to work in the computer field.

You dont need a degree, but you are going to make your life a lot easier when you are competing against a ton of other developers that do have degree. The problem with many employers right now, is that there are so many available candidates that they want to pick the best looking developers on paper before they invite them in for an interview.
Many employers make a BSCS a requirement for the job. Even though you may be able to program circles around all of the developers with degrees, the human resources screener would not even consider you because you do not meet the basic requirements.
The way that you will get a job without a degree is by using your contacts, and getting in touch directly with the hiring managers. Once they see what type of developer you are, they may want to hire you on merit, even though you do not meet their basic requirements on paper.

In my mind, one benefit of having a degree is that it shows an employer that you have a certain amount of discipline. You've worked for four years toward a goal and didn't quit because you got bored with it or came across something more interesting.
If I were looking to hire someone, I would want to see some indication that the individual has some ability to work through times when the work is not fully stimulating. (Is there anyone out there that always finds their work fully stimulating?)
I would hope that a college education also offers some breadth to your experiences. I would prefer to work with someone whose life goes beyond C++ and games development. (Though it seems college degrees are becoming more and more specialized.)

The main obstacle with getting a job in the game programming industry is that they want you to have previous game-programming experience. The trick then is to take a few of your well polished games and submit them with your resume.
The other trick is to use your contacts to get in touch with the hiring managers directly. The Human resources screeners will weed you out the moment they see you. They do not understand talent, they only understand numbers and minimum requirements.
Good Luck

It's getting to the stage where I'm going to get back into contacting companies to find a job. I was wondering if people had suggestions about the best way to contact them?
Specifically, I'm after some kind of development work. I've got the most experience with front-end web development with ASP (and a small dose of COM w/ VB), but am now getting seriously into .NET and ASP.NET in particular.
Anyway, it's not so much who to contact, but the best way to do it? Is a small email asking if companies are recruiting the best thing to do -- and then include some kind of CV etc. in a follow-up?
Thanks for any suggestions! (as ever  )

The last could of months I have been working on an SDK for programmatically manipulating Outlook Express. My initial tests have been good and I'm writing it now in bits and pieces. The thing is , Outlook Express will be extensible now, thru such an SDK, and that makes it very powerful. From things like directly creating mail and news messages, extracting all messages and mail related notifications to even directly accessing these from the web. I plan to release a free version with less powerful set of features(here at CP?) and a commercial kit will full accessibility to SDK features.
I know a lot of apps that are directly or indirectly related to Outlook Express. But as is, we have loads of mail infecting viruses, trojans, spyware etc that make life miserable enough. Should there at all be a free version that is *safe*?
Also, and help or advise regarding publishing, marketing, distribution and any other comment/suggestions are welcome.
Cheers,

I am interested in having a special purpose compiler developed for the .net platform. This is not a commercial project so I have limited funding available for it. I am thinking of a possible match with an experienced developer living in a not so expensive country. You must be very experienced in Compiler design and construction and the .net platform. I have good specs and bnf available. I am happy to have it developed anywhere in the world, but would need continuity for extensions and bug fixes etc.
I also have other projects in real time and tools development.

I'm a Canadian citizen who is looking at taking a job programming for an American company. This will probably not involve relocation. Can anybody (I know there are some Canadians here that work for international entities) provide me with some direction for researching on the internet the more valuable sites/documents I will need to be familiar with if I end up taking up an American/international job (the one offered, or any other one for that matter) while still a Canadian citizen? Information on taxation, work permits, or anything else I will need to know would be great.
Thanks for the direction,
