A Job Fair For Jobs In India — In California

dcblogs writes "Indian and U.S. companies are holding a job fair at the San Jose Convention Center this weekend for jobs in India. The job fair is aimed at Indian workers in the U.S., but anyone with an interest in working overseas can attend. India is pitched as a 'sea of opportunity' in a PowerPoint presentation about the job fair. That's in contrast to another slide that makes the obvious point that the U.S. has 'barely recovered from a downturn,' with 'signs that it's headed for another.'"

    Indian users complaining about the bad English of all those US based call centers.

    Well, to be fair, that statement is really intended for the illegal aliens (mostly from Mexico) that they are trying to get to go to India and take jobs from the folks in India.

    We've got one of those. His English is incomprehensible, his personal hygiene is non-existent and his work ethic is nil: He pawns his work off on others whenever he can and points fingers at others for his mistakes.

    Management hasn't done anything, despite complaints: The stench of ...body odor and (when speaking to him) halitosis is nauseating.

    You work with RMS?

    I'm sick of all the liberal Bush bashing. Let's get one thing straight - Bush never smoked anything. He was a coke head.

    If you think this is a great depression I suggest you go talk to someone who lived through the real great depression so they can slap you upside the head and explain to you the vast, vast, differences.

    I talked to someone who was around back then and he said that things are actually worse. Today, people don't know how to hunt or farm like they did back then.
