Lets build a network

Hi Guys,

As an answer to this thread http://www.qtcentre.org/forum/f-gene...here-5450.html . Here is an idea, that i think would work.

I am from India and finding a Qt job here is a difficult if not impossible. One of the ways I found was to maintain a list of Companies in India that uses Qt,

But many a times ,I get calls from companies/consultancies that are Qt related. And I often have to turn them down since I won't be looking for a job then:rolleyes:. But I almost always give them a list of my friends who are Qt programmers ... So if we join together and forward each others reference then the chances are better. So please do feel free to contact me. I can help you if you are looking for a job. I can a redirect those enquirers to you, provided that I am not looking for the same :D

BTW: I have a Linked in id, http://www.linkedin.com/pub/1/532/461

Hi Sunil,

I am not trying to pick hairs here, but I have trouble understanding your post (all though the idea is nice).

And, I thought the whole idea of searching a job is in order to be able not to search for a job any longer so what did you mean by:

So you are searching for a job, get offers which you turn down, because you want to contenu the job search?

I am sure you mean something else, but I am not sure what?

Ya, I know it really sounds absurd.

Well, presently I am already employed and that means I am not seeking out for another opportunity. But I get calls from consultancies who search for Qt professional and stumbles upon my profile; mostly from Job portals.

When I get a call from them , I redirect it to my friends who are seeking for Job. So if we build a network then, the chances of someone missing an opportunity is very less. Hope this makes it clear

And sorry for the confusion caused :)

Ok - that makes more sense :-)
But I must admit, allthough I find the idea on it own as a nice one, there are some things that need to be addressed:
There are quite big salary differnces between the west (US,EU,AU/NZ) and east europe, and the east (Inida for example).
So it is more likely such a netwrok will have more benefit for (in your case) Indian job seekers, and western employers.
I don't think the other way around would be realistic.

I agree. But guys in Western Countries could create a network for themselves.
Lets hope someone else is also interested in this network stuff and see how it works out.

Hi Guys,

Please email me if you want me to forward you the Qt related job offer calls/mails I get. I forward it to quite few guys here in forum ...
