Fed H-1B Visa Probes May Help American Engineers
If you check out http://www.myvisajobs.com/Visa-Sponsor/Qualcomm/4… It should be quite clear that Qualcomm's use of the H-1B visa is accelerating quite dramatically. 6812 visas in the 2001-2011 timeframe, yet 1226 of those in 2011 alone.— February 11, 2012 1:51 p.m.
Fed H-1B Visa Probes May Help American Engineers
Destroys huge numbers of brains in America as well, as America's best and brightest, despite sending resumes by the thousands to companies like Qualcomm, Microsoft, etc., don't even receive the courtesy of a response or professional treatment by such employers. Its not unheard of to talk to veterans in the industry and find that domestic grads mostly haven't been hired in over a decade. Qualcomm, Microsoft, and Google HR receive thousands of resumes for each position. A lot of guys are falling through the cracks.— February 11, 2012 1:22 a.m.
Fed H-1B Visa Probes May Help American Engineers
Top quartile graduate from EE/CS, from a top-20 school. Sent my resume to Qualcomm on numerous occasions after I graduated, as a Citizen. Never heard back from them. Why this company is allowed to bring in guest workers or foreigners, while domestic talent (like myself) doesn't receive even so much as the courtesy of a response, is, to say the least, troubling. It is hard to imagine that Qualcomm is really trying to hire domestic grads when guys like me, despite being qualified for their positions at the entry-level, don't even receive the courtesy of responses, basic testing, or interviews. Qualcomm has essentially created a system of racial apartheid in their workforce, where race, not merit, determines who gets interviews and who gets hired. It really is quite disgusting and is tearing at the social fabric of the nation, to have our best and brightest unemployed.— February 11, 2012 1:18 a.m.
