>>> Thanks again, Tracy. These are two very helpful links. I think, I'll call them tomorrow. Personal conversation may do better, than just sending a resume... Though I have an accent... <<

>Send the resume first. If you haven't heard anything in a week, then call. The main purpose of a job application or resume is to AVOID GIVING THEM A REASON TO WRITE YOU OFF. You want to get past the initial screening (which is increasingly automated) and get a foot in the door. To interview, perchance to work. In this market you've beaten the odds by even getting to that point.

>If you're looking for work in a midmarket like Columbus, I would think long and hard about pigeonholing yourself as a FoxPro developer on your resume or in your cover letter. (You ARE planning to send a tailored cover letter with every resume, showing some knowledge of the company and the position, right?) You want to present yourself as a skilled professional who is diligent, hardworking, and flexible and has a track record of success. Beyond that, don't tell them anything initially. Be a bit of a tease -- make them want to bring you in for an interview to find out more about you.

>You're going to get a job, Nadya. A good job. You are clearly a capable professional programmer. You may have an accent but luckily for you it is that of a country with a great reputation for math and computer programming. Some smart company will snap you up and you will make more money than you ever imagined when you decided to immigrate here.

>Go get 'em, young lady. This is a country where anyone with smarts and a willingness to work hard, harder than the competition, can succeed. I know you will.

Thanks a lot for the words of encouraging and advices, Mike. By the way, I tried to send a cover letter and a resume yesterday to the e-mail address given on the site, but it returned back...

Or regular mail is better than e-mail?
