Ask HN: I have won the DV lottery but need some help

1 points by merber ↗ HN
Hello,

I have recently graduated as an Electronics Engineer. My Green Card visa appointment is on the second week of December.

I need to find a job before my interview or probably I am going to lose my chance to get a Green Card because of financial problems.

Here is some of my experiences:

- FPGA, Verilog, PicoBlaze, MicroBlaze, OpenRISC

- Python, C (intermediate)

- UNIX System Admisitration , Bash (intermediate)

- HTML, PHP (beginner - intermediate)

If you want I can send you my CV.

Thank you

It isn't very likely that you will find much help here. This is a sign of a lack of initiative. So, if you didn't already, I suggest starting to look for jobs yourself instead of letting employers look for you. Just my two cents.

I have applied more than 150 different places but none of them return.

They just sent me an e-mail template starting with "Unfortunetely.."

Most people in the US I talked to have no idea the DV lottery exists. That might be different for the HN crowd though. Still, I would resubmit under a different title. And it would make things easier if you have some contact details in your user profile.

All the best for the interview. How hard it is depends also on your current citizenship. Where are you from?

Thank you. I am going to change the title and submit again.
