As far as I know the only reason to learn French is if you're applying for the province of Quebec.

check it out for yourself:

AFAIK if you already hold a PR visa , things get much easier to get a job.

Do you really need the ejb-jar.xml as you're using annotations!?
As far as I know there's no need to use the ejb-jar.xml since you're using annotations.
Sorry if I'm wrong.

Wouldn't you be better looking at the major recruitment sites for the country/countries you're interested in? I'm not sure how many employers would necessarily make JavaRanch their first stop when recruiting experienced developers in their own country. The Jobs Offered forum shows about 7 jobs worldwide in the last week, while the UK-based JobServe site has over 2000 "Java" jobs in the same period, for example.

As for work permits etc, that will depend on the country/employer/job. If you're looking for temporary contract work, it's less likely the employer will want to spend weeks/months to go through the hassle of applying for visas etc if they only need you for 3 months. Also, it will depend on your skills - if they can hire somebody with the same skills locally who already has permission to work in the country, they don't need to waste time applying for a visa for you. Some countries allow you to apply for a visa that would permit you to go and live there and look for work (e.g. Canada), but this process is usually slow and expensive with lots of restrictions. Otherwise the usual approach seems to be that your prospective employer has to apply for a visa/work permit on your behalf, and perhaps certify that they can't hire somebody locally with the same skills.

Here in the EU (I'm in the UK), you can usually work anywhere in the EU (and Switzerland) if you're a citizen of an EU member state, but I'm not sure if this applies to non-EU citizens with a permit for one EU country who are looking to work in another EU country. In the UK, there have also been some half-hearted attempts to restrict the influx of IT workers from India, although there are so many loopholes that this still doesn't seem to be much of a problem for employers wanting to import staff from India currently.



Thanks Chris,
Yeah, You're right, applying for a visa that would let me live and work It's bit pricey and takes a while to get the whole process done. I'll figure out what's the most convenient way to work overseas. I'm from Brazil, have got over than 4 years working as JavaEE developer in the same company and things over here are not exciting as It used be a few years ago and for that I was thinking of have a change on this year.
If you have more advice, don't hesitate to say. =]
Thank you guys.

and here in Javaranch you can discuss from start to etc . I dont know how many of them got job from JavaRanch! but probably countless . for instance I got *good* Job help of the JavaRanch !



Hi there,
thanks for your response, but what I meant was if some *experienced* guy - about over 4 year of experience - has gotten a job through the *JavaRanch*, and not how to get a job generally...

Anyone !?

Hi Y'all
Has anyone ever got a job through this amazing forum? If so, How was that?
I've seen many job opportunities and professionals wishing to get a jog through here so that's why I got a little curious.

Why don't you go after a professional help? Any sport nutritionists could help ya with the best advices. It seems to be easy but It's not. There are a few rules that will fit according of your goals.
A good diet and hard workout routine, will "start" to show ya results in a short time.

Thank fellows,
actually I'll try to get some kind of working visa before paying some course, if I pick Australia, I'll try to get the skilled permanent resident visa, there are just a few points left to go.
If something goes wrong on getting this working visa, I'll look up on the Internet for good universities to do a master in information technology course, seems to be a lil bit pricey though.

Hi mates,
I'm 28 years old, got 4 years of experience in Java web programming, bachelor in information system degree(finished it in 2008).
I was wondering going to study in USA or Australia for one or two years, It would be some kind of MIT or something in the IT field.
The doubt is, Ain't I too old to do some kind of "adventures" like that? How bad is to be this period off the market?
Has anybody ever been in a situation like that!?
What do ya guys reckon?

You don't have to get an expensive machine, there is a couple of reasonable Macs options.



How much & what would a reasonable mac be? I mean configurations
