"Sucks" is an understatement - granted I'm bitter, & also I graduated in the year Trump was elected, but I do think "scam" or "racket" comes closer to the truth.

And people wonder why job descriptions with commitments to "equal opportunity" or "diversity" drive me to apoplexy. Did you publish your visa sponsorship policy?

Is the role in fact eligible for visa sponsorship?

What budget has your institution set aside for visa sponsorship this year?

How many visas has your institution sponsored in the past 3 years?

I see we're doing the "if only people could write a good CV / resume" ritual again.

Sigh.

Fine, let's do this again. The main thing everyone has to keep in mind is that recruitment is, by & large, a broken system.

The reason head-hunting firms make money, & the reason companies pay employees referral bonuses (do they still?), is that finding the perfect person for the job is really hard.

On the impending #IndiaLockdown, a few thoughts.

(This might turn into a long-ish thread - still sorting out said thoughts.)

1. I have no objection to the move itself. I understand there will be an economic impact, and still think a lockdown is a reasonable step at this time. 2. Have been reading various pieces on how economic slowdown from lockdowns may lead to *more* deaths than the virus. Granted, these are projections, and the figure used for COVID-19 fatalities in particular is based on scant data; even so, the claim seems plausible.

My advice / appeal to fellow Indians voting in this election [A thread].

I've held off saying something this direct so far. 2. Partly because I wasn't sure how my employer would react to me endorsing or criticising a political party.

Partly because this set of thoughts was still ricocheting back & forth, and only recently clicked into a somewhat coherent form.
