In our local newspaper, there’s an advertisement for programmers and analysts. I assume it’s part of the H1B process, where it’s formally required to show regulatory bodies that there is a shortage in the local talent pool for certain specifications and conditions, and thus there’s a basis for granting an H1B visa to a foreigner (like myself nine years ago).

I wonder, how do they handle the situation when they get a flood of responses? Logically, if the applicants fit, they would have to hire one of them, and the guy with the H1B application would be out of luck. But somehow, they must be setting the requirements so that no local candidate qualifies. However, they definitely have to conduct interviews. Otherwise, the DOL won’t accept the application. So, it’s odd that there’s little specificity. Logically, there should be something like requiring 20 years of experience in Rust for digital products in e-commerce or something similar.

By the way, check out the grammar when you’re paid by the letter

Cds, tsts, dbgs, impimnts, and demnts prgrms. Assts in the mdfctn of cmpny practs and/or cstmr/intrl systms to meet the needs of the clint and/or ends. Gthrs into frm the systm, aniyzs prgm and time qurmnts, and prprs demnin to chnge exsing prgms

In the second screenshot, they’re hiring a programmer. Here are all the requirements (literally all of them):

Write, Collaborate, Implement, Correct, bug, Create & update code libraries.

Salary is $114K per year (gross, of course)
