finding employment

We recently hired an IT person from the ETC registry - is your husband registered there?

I am also IT by trade, and I only speak English.... Systems engineer, network designer and network admin formerly for the US government.   I have been in country and actively looking for work for about 3 weeks.  I applied for anything and everything until I found the job I wanted...   Believe it or not the job I took was one I found after registering with ETC. ( I was amazed ) etc.gov.mt/   Prior to that I had registered and interviewed with several IT recruiting companies on the island as well as sites like eurogamingjobs.com/ and several England based international recruiting agencies.

Now I look at things differently also... 

1. I sent out an average of 7-10 CV's per day with accompanying custom cover letters,

2. I used 15+ international recruiters. 

3. if someone does not want to hire me I don't care and move onto the next one...  I call it a "healthy sense of rejection"

4. I used ETC

5. I would have taken a job pumping gas if I had to but I got lucky and found a job during the hardest part of the year in my field.

You are welcome to send me a private message if you like, I can always take a look at your husband's CV or resume whatever you are using and see if I can help there...  Honestly I am new to the CV thing, I used my resume when applying.

Patients and Diligence has always been the key for me, and some times just dumb luck falls into play.  Malta seems to have a need for IT guy's.  Id be interested in knowing what your hubby specializes in.

Yes - IT covers a multitude of sins, I too work in IT but a very different area than Chad, so tell us about your husbands speciality and perhaps one of us in IT can help.

Sins is a very good way to put it. 

Just got this from a local contact via facebook - "We're looking for some good Java Developers. Anyone who's interested or knows someone who could be, please drop me a line!" - so IT jobs are around on Malta, just depends on the area of expertice/timing etc. Unfortunately, this isn't nor do I have any experience in networks so I don't think I can be much help...sorry (but I will keep my ears open)

Tim

You with networks and my Java is terrible.... I can hack apart someone elses code to get what I need but that's it...   My code is always ugly but functional, though maybe a bit slow...   

Yeah Ill leave the web stuff to you. 

I got your pm and will shoot an email off tomorrow morning.
