On April 1, 2008, employers went through the annual ordeal of filing petitions for temporary work visas for skilled foreign workers in the H-1B category. They are limited to 65,000 petitions, to be effective October 1st, at the start of the fiscal year.
It is a controversial program because the employers feel competitive pressure to find these workers abroad, contending that this country simply does not have enough of them with the necessary skills.
If that is true - and I'm not ready to concede that it is - it's a depressing thought, especially as domestic unemployment is at the highest level in years.
I welcome these employers to advertise those jobs on Interpreters' Group. Our talent pool includes bi-lingual workers with all skills, not only interpreters. Please indicate if you filed an H-1B application when you register with IG to post your jobs. I intend to display them prominently on our Home Page.
An employer's FIRST job that is also listed on an H-1B will be FREE!
Who knows? You might even fill the position before October.
