    PogWan got a reaction from trublubu2 in HR is terrible in the US   
    OP, finding a job in this country can be one of the most stressful experiences ever. I'm currently working for a major global bank and have had a lot of interaction with the recruiting and HR department due to working with them directly. I was friends with the head of recruiting for a while until they left the company. It is standard behavior for them to never respond to you unless they need something from you directly no matter the form of communication.

    Even with all of my direct networking with these areas I recently experienced having my position closed out and shipped to India. I found other positions in the company to apply for and even with high level executives communicating with the recruiter's boss it would still take days to get a response.

    It's also normal for them to send incorrect resumes to hiring managers because they know nothing about the business, so they only scan for key phrases. I've seen this happen a number of times. I've also seen them schedule interviews for applicants, but never coordinate with the business hiring manager. Just a few weeks ago there was someone show up for an interview and one of the managers was walking around the floor asking people if they were expecting anyone. They ended up having to go back home without an interview.

    I don't blame the company for this, but rather the outdated recruiting model that managers continue to utilize even though it results in universal frustration.

    The best advice is what was mentioned earlier is to just keep trying until you get to know people. You'll get lucky eventually. Once you get in, talk to people and get to know them. This is crucial for your sucess in corporate America. You never know who you might need to call on for a favor in the future.

    I think the average time it can take to find a skilled position is 3-6 months.

    PogWan reacted to JimmyHou in Applying for the citizenship from date of marriage or Date of Green card received ?   
    Look at the "Resident Since" date on the front of your green card.
    You can apply if:
    - It has been at least 3 years minus 90 days from that date on the day you apply.
    AND
    - You have been married for 3 full years on the day that you apply.
    AND
    - Your spouse has been a US citizen for 3 full years on the day that you apply.
    Note that the 90 early filing rule only applies to the anniversary of the day you became a resident, not the other two conditions.
    The day you received the physical card is irrelevant.
    The day used for the 3 year calculation is the Resident Since date.
    The date of the marriage is only relevant to make sure that you were married for 3 full years when you applied.

    The problem with this is she is also freaking out about his job and things he does at home. I've seen this before and I would bet money she has borderline personality (BPD).
