Re: They always find a way NOT to hire the higher-paid American
It is sometimes easy to tell that a company is trying to find a way to show that they can't find US citizen to fill a job when there are very disparate requirements for the post. For example, an senior IT person with experience in material stress analysis or non-destructive testing. The odd ball requirements won't appear in the job posting (in a foreign language) when published overseas. Who's going to check?
Another thing that is interesting is how employers are able to verify education and work experience of somebody overseas. A little work in Illustrator will produce a fine looking diploma and a couple of minutes in Word will yield some nice recommendation letters on company letterhead. Hmm, I wonder if there are any entrepreneurs that have a phone/mail answering service to backstop fake credentials.
