Babylon Bee is going to have to work even harder to remain outlandish... good grief!

Unsurprising. Leave this in your pocket as something that might yield an unexpected boon, but don't count on it. 1. Apply with temp agencies and recruiters. 2. Network like a wild person. 3. Join, interact, and be alert toward getting your foot in the door anywhere. We all really feel for you; along with this, as you can tell, we're certain that you'll "engineer" your success.

Everything happens for the best. Hopefully, you were hired or will be hired at a place more competent.

Unbelievable indeed. Comments?

Fill out what you can. The Lima consulate understands the nature of Peruvian addresses. If pertinent or helpful, add "red house, 3rd from corner" or whatever might apply.

Biden's roller coaster of catastrophes In a remarkable interview last Friday, ABC News anchor David Muir pulled back the curtain to reveal a President Joe Biden who seemed disconnected with the political reality swirling around him and his White House.

Face Masks and Lab Leaks No Match for Progressive Ideology During much of the COVID pandemic, progressives intimidated, insulted, and sought to censor those who questioned the efficacy of face masks or wondered if the virus might have leaked from a lab in China.

Suggested earlier.

Then Pat the OP should pursue this avenue in order to find highly motivated help!

Yes... and, often, these employees will get a "referral bonus" for having referred someone who's subsequently hired, so there's incentive there.

Another idea is to search for American engineering societies, such as asce.org aiche.org and others. They will have discussion forums. Read and perhaps join them. Their officers will be prominent academicians and industrialists. Reach out to them. The sites may have archived articles that apply to your situation. Read them. I honestly think that you're swimming upstream by trying to do everything solo. Reach out. Make folks aware of you.

That's wonderful to be able to do it by e-mail. Please keep us closely informed.

Very good, Abraham. Do what Mike E suggests. There should be a CBP Deferred-Inspection office at the Minneapolis/St. Paul airport.

The OP has been reading this thread, which is good. However, he needs to come back to clarify what we're conjecturing about.

Nope. There's a chance that they're intimidated, or too lazy to want to contact overseas references. Human Resources departments here in the Colonies can contain the dregs of the company, and hiring managers may not understand what an MEng is. Confront this through a strong cover-letter that explains what you've told us here. Gaps aren't as big a killer as in past years, and you can also explain them in the cover-letter. Turn this into a benefit by listing your capabilities in a 2-column bulleted list, in your resumé, cover-letter, or both. Yes, and good. Actually, the numbers game might be your biggest obstacle. Are you relying on job ads in LinkedIn and similar portals? Listings can attract many dozens of applicants within just a few hours of posting. You have to be lucky in timing. In job-hunting, as in life, sometimes it's not so much what you know, but who you know. Suggestion #1: Identify some area companies where you'd like to work. Learn who the appropriate department head is. Call (don't e-mail) and ask for a 20-minute in-person appointment (call it an informational interview) to gain his/her advice on your best opportunity and how you should proceed. Even if no opening currently exists, the manager will now know you. Repeat this process. You might even volunteer to work in a unit for free for a week or two. Suggestion #2: Try this idea, previously posted by the member Darnell: --- Each city has a chamber of commerce. Find it. Once you find it - talk with the secretary - tell her you want a schedule of events and let her know you'd like to attend. Then - go in person to the Chamber of Commerce Office - talk with the President of the Chamber, tell him/her you want to volunteer at several of their events. Attendees at chamber events are business owners and sales geeks, all looking for new business. It usually is an informal-enough gathering where you can approach people and talk with them. Now, the cool thing about being a volunteer there - is that you will be talking to everyone at least once - you might be at the reception table, you might be at the greeters table, you might help to run the audio/video system - whatever - but - the point is that you can meet everyone there, face to face. Attend 2 or 3 of these, and folk remember you. When folk remember you, they will remember you are seeking employment and will consider you, because you're just not some name on a piece of paper - they met you at a chamber event and know that you were volunteering, helping out the chamber. Go Get Em, and Good Luck! PS - live in a really small town? go to the biggest town that's within 15 miles of your house. --- In short, networking is probably your best bet right now. Let us know how you choose to proceed. Rooting for you here.
