It sounds like a VISA problem for the tier II or smaller companies.
If you focus on the bigger tier I companies, you are getting interviews so your resume works. You are failing the interview/coding test. Do you have insight into which? Are you getting second interviews? Does the process stop after the coding test?
- cl42 6y agoQuick note on visas -- if you are eligible for a TN or O1 visa, then I've seen employees/candidates in Canada foot the bill and run the process themselves rather than ask the employer to do it. This is 100% doable and often helps HR departments (who have no idea what this process is, especially in smaller companies) deal with many objections.
- rafiki6 6y agoAny particular strategies for making them aware of this? I find that if I submit a job application online, I will say I require a VISA (a TN in my case) and that produces less positive outcomes usually. So I've started to say I don't require a Visa which even if it leads to a conversation with HR, and I clarify my situation ends up resulting in an immediate rejection anyway.
- cl42 6y agoReally big thought/strategy: try to avoid talking to HR, and find the hiring manager instead. HR is a filter for applicants. They want to make the process easy and low-risk for the company, which is a critical part of the role... But the hiring manager needs to want you badly, to hire you... If the hiring manager is saying, "Hire rafiki6 at any cost, JUST DO IT" then HR will help you. ... but HR teams rarely go out of their way to promote a candidate aggressively to a hiring manager.
- rafiki6 6y agoI do when I can. It's not easy to find the hiring manager for every role posted unless the hiring manager promotes the role themselves.
