I just helped an Iranian young lady engineer to get the job of her dream. Yesterday I met her for a cup of coffee. Brand new Ericsson camera phone. All smiles. I just told her how to make herself the best candidate for a Sweden company. (I worked in Sweden for 1 1/2 years before). Told her how to behave in the interview. It was supposed to be two interviews. She got the job with a single one! In two years she said, she'll apply for immigration to Australia. With two years of Radio Planning experience she'll easily gets a job there, she said. People are struggling to be saleable in another country!! Young ladies love to seek advice from me. I don't know, I think they find smart men are sexy!! My friend, an young lady from Czech Republic got a job in Slovak Telecom, as a product manager, thanks to my advice. She dropped out at high school but is very bright. Another young lady from Czech Republic got a job at a law firm. She has a degree in biology. I told her to go sell medicine as marketing person for laboratories. With the degree in biology and the looks she would get a job. She got the job at the law firm. Lost of business because Czech Republic had to enact 80.000 laws to join the EU. She was a receptionist, now she is being trained (paid by the company) for a marketing position. Next I have to teach my friend from Germany how to beat the dark out look of the job market in there. Perhaps I also could go illegal and start job counselling in the US!!! :-)

The Irish were the Mexicans of their day as immigrants: library.thinkquest.org "The first generations worked largely at unskilled and semiskilled occupations, but their children found themselves working at increasingly skilled trades. By 1900, when Irish American mend made up about a thirteenth of the male labor force, they were almost a third of the plumbers, steamfitters, and boilermakers. Industry working Irish soon found themselves lifted up into boss and straw-boss positions as common laborers more and more arrived from southern and eastern Europe- Italians, Slavs, and Hungarians." "Those Irish who did continue to flow into the U.S. tended to settle in the already existing Irish communities, where Catholic Churches had been built, and cultural traditions were carried out. However materialistically poor they were, the Irish were rich in cultural resources, developing institutions that helped them face hardship without despair. Cultural events such as St. Patrick's Day were regarded by most Americans as evidence of the separateness of these immigrants, but helped hold the Irish culture together."
