Moving Between Countries?
An anonymous reader writes "In six months' time, I am packing up and moving from Australia (Melbourne) to Canada (Vancouver). I'm a qualified network engineer. What I want to know is, what sort of quirks and tricks I am going to have to get used to in the Canadian job market? I'm used to Australian recruiters, and all the hoops you have to jump through, but Canada may have different hoops. I've tried contacting recruiters directly for information but they don't really give out much, as I am not actually in the country yet and therefore not worth their time. Is anyone willing to share their experiences on making the big move from country to country?"
Yeah, I've noticed the flag prevalence here, much more than back in NZ. We all like our country, more or less, but publicly displaying nationalistic tendencies (showing a flag on your shop/car/property) more or less marks you as a little retarded...
America's a country, not a continent.
