September Coming

Just noticed next week will be September already! A bit shock at the first stage, I still remember that I decided to come back to the working 9-5 world in late June, then the whole July and August, no good so far. September - so what? no great hope, but probably another month playing the interview games.  Anyway, need to rethink my strategy, my plans also my family. Good luck September again.

Proactive and Communication!

Proactive Proactive, Communication Communication! 

In the current tight job market, seems the employers are requiring more and more from job seeks, even as a software engineer and new migrant. English is not most migrants' first language, so it will become a serious social problem that the society can't accept non-English background migrants. By writing this, I am still trying hard to improve my English anyway but not that easy to change significantly in one day.

Tough market

This year, seems the market is very different from before already. 99% employers seeking for 150% skilled employee for their requirement plus excellent local English.  This is not right for an open migrant country Australia, especially for IT industry. If the employers don't wish the employee to learn and know the new things, but just require employee to have the exact skills they want, that is no good for the future of the IT. IT is creative and innovative, IT people tend to be always like to learn and happy to learn things thing they don's know, as even you are very knowledgeable people, you will also have something you don't know.
