本人在国内惠普,爱立信有8年IT支持的经验(基于Wintel),也做过一些管理工作(Project, Asset, Change, Helpdesk, Operation management),工作上英文沟通没什么问题,现在来温哥华3个多月了,在Landell上了3周的JFC(Job Finding Club),已经发了近90份简历,一共有过4次面试,可到现在还在家侯着呢。现在半天时间继续找工作,半天时间自学ccna,想过两周去考ccna。
欢迎任何IT工作信息,和IT找工作的经验。我的email是 etcfejd@gmail.com 谢谢!

微软的东东在西边不是很吃得开吗?

楼主太着急了吧?刚刚三个月,先熟悉熟悉情况,放松心态。
另外给一个建议,简历里不要写你干过那么多东西,针对不同的工作岗位,侧重于一点。
在这里,会的东西多,意味着博而不精。

谢谢各位的鼓励,感觉cold call和information meeting不受欢迎。打过几个电话都被拒了。

是不是表达的方式有问题?别气馁,再接再励。。。

最近又有几家面试,跟赶场似的,有三家过了2轮,可到最后还是不行,因为他们最大的顾虑是我的英文,虽然在中国外企上班说英文还可以,但到这里工作,尤其是一线的IT支持,需要经常接电话,用电话解答问题,而专家又需要Coach别人,这样就对英语要求非常的高。可这语言只有找到工作才能更好更快的锻炼呀,自己在家怎么能在短时间快速提高呢?

去注册一个英文班读书,面试时告诉他们你正在努力IMPROVE你的英文,而且有提高,相信不影响工作.你的UNIQUE的工作经验是最大的优点.讲话慢一点.自信一点.在家先练习好.多背几遍.我以前去面试自己要模拟几十遍,常见问题人家一问我就知道怎么答.万变不离其中.不要说我英文不好,那样没人要你.你要说我没问题.你是外国人,语法错没关系.自信很重要.

其实这些也都练过,读报纸,和邻居聊天,背单词,但好像进步不是很快。

面试的问题也都准备过,不过我也认为我的口语不好,说着说着,时态就乱了,he/she也会说错,句子结构也乱了。

发音也有很多不准的地方,比如plane有时会说成plan,smile会说成smell,please会说成police,尤其是面试紧张就更容易出错。

That's a pretty good professional job to start with for IT migrants. I guess they have received a lot of applications from non native speakers of English whose English is not fluent enough to have effective communication, so they emphasize that the applicants must have a good command of the English language.

不是这个原因。 很多专业职位都会有这个要求。而所谓的英文好不仅仅是NATIVE的水平。而是能有效的勾通(包括口头和书面)。很多NATIVE SPEAKER一样有勾通问题的。

在中国,沟通一直是我的长项(用中文啦),但在这里,语言+文化使我觉得和本地人沟通很困难,倒是和一些老外(比如法国人,印度人等)沟通更容易些。

所以这种工作是不是不适合刚移民来的IT人事呢?或着说,如果你不是programmer,或CAD,是不是一定需要上半年,一年的学,才能继续IT的工作呢?

做support, helpdesk方面的职位对语言要求要高些,因为以后工作中你可能经常得和同一部门及不同部门同事们打交道,要理解别人提出的问题,再解决问题,得熟悉各种口音,你说的英语得让同事们都能理解,还有些书面的玩意。

lz专业技能已经够强了,建议加强语言,或者强化面试英语,“混”进公司后,其实经常会觉得这个职位所要求的经验/技能没有当初招聘时提的那么高。
