Well, I just blew my Life.

you'll like CA.

Don't get down..I always say that there is no such thing as "one dream scenario" in life. Opportunities come along all the time and if you are looking for it, you will find it. You're bummed, this one didn't work out. Keep you chin up and be on the lookout for the next one and grab it tight.

Re: Well, I just blew my Life.

You say you paid "20K" for that. Do you mean 20,000 USD???

Actually, yes. And, Skin is absolutely correct, ya gotta invest sometimes.

The only issue with me coming to the USA is not having a Green Card. I would LOVE to work and live in the USA. And, I bet a couple of companies out there would be delighted to have my services. They just wouldn't be allowed to employ me by law is all.

And, I wouldn't give a toss where I landed. I mean, there are nicer places than others in the USA, but I wouldn't care if it were the worst place. Your worst place is still better than 99% of other places around the world.

Jesus, if that's the going rate for headhunters over in Deutschland I think I've identified a possible career move for you. That will be $5.000, please

Agreed. The lowest points in life often lead to the highest points. Unless you go and off yourself. Just kidding. We love ya, Tarlam. Now's the time to plan a trip to Green Bay for the October 5th weekend.

Yeah, get a damn gig tarlam so I can feel good about slammin' your ass!

I agree with both points. And yes, plan your trip here. Who am I supposed to eat lobster with now??

Not to start an argument, but headhunters never charge for their services..not to the employee.

Tar went with a comany like Allen and Associates..that market you as a candidate. Big difference.

Yeah, I figured that but don't know what, if anything, you call a company like that. If not a headhunter, maybe a cannibal?

Hmmm. I see an air tight pre-nup in Tarlam's future.

[MJZiggy]

You didn't ruin your life. You think you blew the interview, but you can never understand the other person's perception of the same incident (unless of course he said, "Mr. Tarlam! you've blown this interview and we won't be hiring you."). You don't know until they hire someone.

I remember a company that we researched a couple months ago...

Can't you come to work in the US on a work visa? I think you just need a company to sponsor you, but half of my office (come to think of it, half this city) is non-native so it can't be THAT hard to work here.

One day at a time, my friend. You'll be fine.

Tarlam! - The only way out is through.

I agree with Ziggy, to a point. I did just say that out loud, didn't I? Hell there is hope for everyone then.

Nah, really, she makes a good point. You don't know. You probably suspect, but you don't KNOW. Actually, I've always believed that "washing out" during the interview process is a good thing. See, in the long run, it just saves you grief, because if you weren't the right person in the interview, what are the odds you're the right person for the job?

I understand those are just words from the guy who has a job, to the guy who doesn't, but, I've walked through a couple of really tough times in my life, and today, those experiences are the ones that I value most. They define me, most days in a good way.

If I remember correctly, you had seven possibilities, what's the disposition of the other six?

Ty - Plenty of recruiting companies charge the employee, some charge BOTH the employee and the employer. Especially outside the US. In fact, you can visit this site. http://www.theladders.com/ . I went on several interviews that I found here when I moved to the midwest. I happily paid them for the leads. I wound up being placed by Robert Half, which billed my employer for 25% of my first year salary, (and that was after the discount), but that's the way the world works.

One of my counterparts in Great Britian just left her job for a career with a Big 4 CPA firm, AFTER, a 3 month notice period. That, according to her is common in London. I've never worked there, so I take her word for it, but she has no reason to lie to me.

No, sorry, you are wrong. I worked that industry for years. Headhunters dont' EVER charge the employee. Your MRIs, your Hall Kinion, Spherion, Tecnnisource, Kforce, Robert Half (rhi), etc.

You are talking about career management companies...big difference.

The ladders charges you to quickly view all the postings...basically separating the wheat from the chaff. And to get special content, but you can find their postings without paying (you can find their sales jobs on salestrax.com).Or they give you some inside info like vault.com.

YOu could have easily have found the info yourself..they didn't charge you for the job, they charged you for infomation.

But, neither monster, computerjobs, careerbuilder, dice, etc. charge.

It is like modeling agencies that charge vs. those who don't. Real, top flite agencies don't.

P.S. 25%..is below market rate for direct placement. But, RHI is hardly a player in direct placement..they do much better in temp or temp to perm.
