Why don't employers post in this newsgroup?
Murthy Gandikota
post jobs from Telugu people. Recently Venkat Nimmalagadda answered my
prayer for a job and gave his contact number 818-324-7211. I could not
call because I am in India (too expensive). But gave my number to call
033-4791857. He did not call. So I am posting for someone's benefit.

Ask not why I am US/UNemployed in India; give me a job
Dear Sir/Madam:
In the challenging decade of 1990’s I have applied to many jobs
in the USA and received favorable consideration. I am grateful to all
the employers such as United Support Systems in Aston, Pennsylvania
for allowing me to contribute during the Year 2000 Transition and to
the DOT-COM revolution in setting up web sites using HTML-based
web/CGI and languages like Perl.
For people like me who came through a rigorous graduate school
program in the cutting-edge or high-technology areas like AI and were
lucky enough to work as consultants to Fortune 500 companies in
mission critical roles (leading to smooth year 2000 transitionis)
there are few challenges that are worth pursuing in the IT development
and testing jobs. These are the honest reasons why I am applying to
the developer and/or tester IT jobs in the USA:
1) Lived and worked in the United States for 15 (fifteen) years since
1986
2) never worked outside the USA
3) the US Consulate cannot renew my Permanent Residence without proof
of US employment
4) my wife is pursuing an academic career in USA (no paycheck)
5) all of our belongings (car, home, etc.) are in USA
6) I am 38 years old and looking forward to a challenging career in
the USA
In 1998 I applied and received approval from the USINS for permanent
residence under the Extraordinary Ability (EB1) program. There was no
need for labor certification. The USINS did not stipulate particular
employer. I am free to work under any employer. The permanent
residence was stamped on my passport (I-551).
I beg your help in securing a job so I can get my US greencard. I
waited for 15 years to receive my US greencard. During these years I
worked as a student on F1 visa for 5 years and as an employee in the
IT industry on H1B visa. I went through many struggles and hard times,
like any American, but a few more because of not having a green card.
For instance, we have not applied to purchase a house because of the
greencard. I have no interest in changing jobs indiscriminately.
Some employers assumed because of my Ph.D. I would naturally move to
a University setting. I am not running to get any University job. For
instance, Universities will have several non-faculty jobs I can apply
and likely get with a greencard. However, that is not my goal.
Universities funded by public tax payers have also restricted faculty
jobs to late Ph.D.’s like myself. Therefore I am totally
dedicated to the job without any distractions.
I look forward to hearing from you and receiving your kind job offer.
Sincerely,
DAKSHIN MURTHY S.GANDIKOTA
