ty, kotorye rasprostranyayutsya besplatno,
prednaznacheny ne dlya specialistov, a dlya shirokoj publiki. Oni menee

menedzherov srednego zvena v komp'yuterah, programmirovanii i predpriyatiyah
vysokoj tehnologii v Ontario, a "Toronto Computes" - eto gazeta "dlya vseh",

8. Najdite magazin, kotoryj prodaet gazety i zhurnaly iz raznyh GORODOV
I PROVINCIJ Kanady - posylajte rezyume v eti kompanii, podcherkivaya, chto vy
gotovy pereselit'sya, esli budet predostavlena rabota.
9. Pomnite, chastnye kompanii ne hotyat tratit' den'gi na vashu
perepodgotovku i obuchenie. Im trebuetsya IMENNO TOT specialist, v kotorom oni
nuzhdayutsya v dannuyu minutu. |to VASHA otvetstvennost' povyshat' svoyu
kvalifikaciyu (i zaplatit' za eto neskol'ko tysyach dollarov). Vidoizmenyajte
tvorcheski svoe rezyume i soprovoditel'noe pis'mo, uchityvaya specifiku
kompanii, povtoryaya i vydelyaya SLOVO V SLOVO te kvalifikacii, kotorye dannaya
firma trebuet, ispol'zujte specificheskuyu dlya dannoj oblasti terminologiyu.
10. Izgotov'te sobstvennuyu biznes kartochku (dazhe esli vy i
bezrabotnyj), gde ukazana vasha kvalifikaciya, professiya, rod predlagaemyh
uslug, na kakuyu rabotu vy pretenduete.
11. Poseshchajte regulyarno vystavki i yarmarki vakansij (letnie shkoly,
konvencii i s®ezdy, zasedaniya obshchestv). Vsegda imejte s soboj v dostatochnom
kolichestve biznes-kartochki i rezyume.
12. Uznajte kak mozhno bol'she o (bol'shoj) kompanii, gde vy hoteli by
rabotat', nomera telefonov otdelov i filialov, strukturu, familii
rukovodstva. Zvonite menedzheram srednego zvena (ne tol'ko rabotnikam otdelov
kadrov, kotorye kak pravilo nevezhestvenny v tehnicheskih voprosah). Vy mozhete
pritvorit'sya, chto hotite zakupit' produkciyu predpriyatiya (dlya firm v Rossii),
dogovorites' ob interv'yu. Vsegda v konce interv'yu sprashivajte, s eshche v etoj
firme ya mog by pogovorit' o trudoustrojstve? Kakie drugie firmy v etoj
oblasti mogut sejchas nanimat'? Najdite klub, kafe, biblioteku, gde rabotniki
etoj kompanii mogut provodit' vremya, est', razvlekat'sya. Sprosite razresheniya
pomestit' vashe ob®yavlenie ili zapisku na dosku predpriyatiya. Horoshij primer
bol'shogo, mnogoprofil'nogo predpriyatiya: Northern Telecom - telefonnye
sistemy, ofisnye ATS (shestoj po razmeru proizvoditel' v mire), Bombardier
(proizvoditel' samoletov). V prigorodah Toronto nahodyatsya krupnejshie
avtosborochnye predpriyatiya (popast' na nih nevozmozhno).
V dekabre 95 goda General Motors ob®yavila o tom, chto zhelayushchie mogut
zapolnit' ankety na trudoustrojstvo - eto byl oprometchivyj shag, poskol'ku
sobralos' 25-30 tysyach chelovek, kotorye proveli noch' (na moroze) pered
vorotami predpriyatiya (kstati, nikto iz nih tak i ne byl nanyat). Bolee
nedavnij primer - v mae 97 goda firma Prokter end Gembl ob®yavila o najme na
mashiny (proizvodstvo stiral'nyh poroshkov). Bylo polucheno 2,000 rezyume, iz
nih otobrano 60 (u vseh 60 byl opyt proizvodstvennoj deyatel'nosti na
podobnom oborudovanii), nanyato 4 cheloveka.
V celom 92-95 gody - eto byl ochen' tyazhelym period. Nekotorye
professional'nye programmisty sideli po tri goda bez raboty. V 1997-99 godah
bezrabotica v Toronto snizilas' na paru procentov, sejchas otnositel'no legko
najti rabotu. V programmirovanii v 99 godu spros chut' huzhe, chem v 98 (v
svyazi s zamorazhivaniem byudzheta i Y2K problem), osobenno dlya kontraktnikov.
13. Postarajtes' najti kompanii, kotorye mogli by byt' zainteresovany v
prodazhe produkcii, syr'e, tehnologii, oborudovanii, specialistah, rabochej
sile iz ROSSII (Ukrainy). Mozhete li vy pomoch' im v etom? (U vas mogut byt'
svyazi i znaniya, kotoryh net u kanadskih predprinimatelej. V lyuboj moment vy
mozhete nachat' SVOE SOBSTVENNOE delo, zatraty na registraciyu sostavlyayut
bukval'no 60 dollarov. Esli delo pojdet, to cherez neskol'ko mesyacev vy sami
budete nanimat' rabotnikov. Popytajtes' zavesti znakomstva - vyyasnite, kto
mozhet i hochet pomoch' vam s novym biznesom. Pomnite, chto vashe neznanie
Kanadskih realij v lyuboj moment mozhet podvesti vas.
14. Otkrojte svoyu sobstvennuyu stranicu v Internete, pomestite tuda svoe
rezyume, naryadu s rekomendaciyami predydushchih rabotodatelej, so ssylkami na
tehnologii, yazyki programmirovaniya, instrumental'nye sredstva, kotorye vami
ispol'zovalis'. Uslugi po sozdaniyu professional'no sdelannoj Web-stranicy
nedorogie - dve-tri sotni dollarov - i u vas budet svoe moshchnoe sredstvo
reklamy. Mnogie Internet provajdery pozvolyayut vam besplatno razmestit' vashu
stranicu na servere, nekotorye dazhe bez ogranicheniya mesyachnogo trafika.
Uslugi Interneta stoyat 15-20 dollarov v mesyac (on-line dostup).
15. Razmestite informaciyu o sebe vo vseh bazah dannyh,
specializiruyushchihsya v dannoj oblasti. Bol'shinstvo iz nih berut 20-30 dollarov
za polgoda. Rassylajte e-mail potencial'nym rabotodatelyam.
16. Esli otvety razocharovyvayut vas, podumajte POCHEMU? Mozhet vam pora
podumat' o smene special'nosti, perekvalifikacii? Pojti v kolledzh,
universitet, kursy? Najti novuyu special'nost'? Popytajtes' opredelit' dlya
sebya, chto zhe nuzhno sejchas na rynke? Kakovy tendencii?
17. Bud'te gotovy nachat' s kontraktnoj raboty, raboty s chastichnoj
zanyatost'yu (part time), kontraktnoj raboty dlya posrednicheskogo agentstva ili
agentstva po trudoustrojstvu (posrednicheskoe agentstvo poluchaet vash
paycheck, t.e. zarplatu celikom, a zatem platit vam chast' poluchennyh deneg.
V ryade oblastej eto normal'naya praktika. V chastnosti, krupnejshee agentstvo i
rabotodatel' mira (!) MANPOWER mozhet besplatno dat' vam perepodgotovku i
testirovanie, ustroit' vas na rabotu (formal'no v eto agentstvo), chtoby
sushchestvovat' v dal'nejshem na vashi zhe den'gi.
18. Uznajte o Ko-op (Co-op) programmah v kolledzhah, srednih shkolah, ili
na kursah. Smysl etih programm v tom, chto vy chast' vremeni zanimaetes',
chast' vremeni rabotaete (besplatno) pri posrednichestve organizatora etoj
programmy. Ko-op programma mozhet byt' s nahozhdeniem dlya vas takoj
raboty-ucheby (with placement), ili vy sami dolzhny najti rabotodatelya.
Prodolzhitel'nost' takoj programmy - obychno 3-4 mesyaca i 2-3 mesyaca -
placement. Esli vy ponravites', i smozhete na etom nastoyat', to vam predlozhat
rabotu po kontraktu ili s chastichnoj zanyatost'yu (obychno tak ustraivayutsya
okolo 50 procentov posle ko-op programm).
Kak pravilo, ko-op programmy organizuyutsya dlya inzhenerov, uchitelej,
buhgalterov, sekretarej, administrativnyh pomoshchnikov. Obychno ochered'
ozhidaniya (waiting list) na neskol'ko mesyacev, k tomu zhe inogda vy dolzhny
uchitsya na etih kursah (shkole, kolledzhe).
Smysl ko-op programmy (dazhe esli vas ne vzyali na rabotu), v poluchenii
references i Canadian experience. Vy mozhete ssylat'sya na opyt kanadskoj
raboty v rezyume posle okonchaniya programmy. (Obychno v rezyume upominaetsya
tol'ko o fakte kontrakta, pri etom ne upominaetsya, chto eto byl Ko-op
kontrakt.) Krome togo, vy poluchaete prakticheskij (hands-on) opyt raboty v
kanadskom okruzhenii. Ne strojte illyuzij: vam budut predlagat' tol'ko samye
prostye, malokvalificirovannye raboty.
Preduprezhdenie: gospitali, kolledzhi (tipa Ryerson Politechnical) ohotno
berut koopshchikov, pishut dlya nih horoshie referernsy, no ne ostavlyayut ih posle
okotchaniya sroka kontrakta). Osteregajtes' kompanij ili organizacij, u
kotoryh "horoshij kontakt" s rukovodstvom ko-op kursov.
19. Rabota volonterom: pozvonite v North York Volunteer Centre
(416-961-6888, 481-6194 (ili v takuyu zhe organizaciyu v Toronto), poprosite
informacionnoe interv'yu. Uznajte, kakie pozicii vakantny (obychno v
bespribyl'nyh organizaciyah, gospitalyah, blagotvoritel'nyh programmah). Esli
vy - sekretar', administrativnyj pomoshchnik, social'nyj rabotnik - to eto
horoshij sposob nabrat' opyt.
20. Uznajte ob uchebe neposredstvenno na meste raboty (apprentice
programs) - v osnovnom dlya kvalificirovannyh rabochih.
Poleznyj sovet: mnogie vnov' pribyvshie otdayut ot 60 do 160 dollarov
odnoj firme, kotoraya raspolozhena pryamo naprotiv v®ezda v aeroport Pirson.
Kak tol'ko vy rassylaete svoi pervye 5-10 rezyume, iz etoj firmy vam zvonyat i
prosyat pribyt' na 'job interview', govorya chto "est' vakansiya". Posle
doveritel'nogo 15-minutnogo razgovora, gde vashi shansy na rabotu ocenivayut
kak "ochen' horoshie", vas prosyat zaplatit' za 'pomeshchenie vashej familii v bank
dannyh na polgoda'.
Net nuzhdy govorit', chto posle etogo ot etoj firmy vy uzhe nichego ne
uslyshite. (|ta firma vo pervyh delaet fiktivnye ob'yavleniya v gazetah o
'najme na rabotu' s ochen' zanizhennymi trebovaniyami, vo-vtoryh - za nebol'shie
kommissionye eta kompaniya poluchaet iz otdelov kadrov - HR bol'shih firm

59. NACIONALXNYE OBSHCHINY I RAJONY TORONTO
Sostavleno na osnove materialov iz Toronto Star. Ogovorka: etimi
materialami ya ne starayus' prizvat' vas zhit' ili, naprotiv, izbegat'
opredelennyh rajonov goroda. Kanada - demokraticheskaya strana. Reshenie
prinimaete vy i tol'ko vy.
Snachala vy dolzhny opredelit' dlya sebya, hotite li vy zhit' v okruzhenii
vashego yazyka. Hotya nachal'naya adaptaciya mozhet byt' nemnogo legche, v
dal'nejshem izuchenie anglijskogo, v osobennosti dlya vashih detej ili roditelej
mozhet stat' slozhnee.
Metro Toronto (ili bol'shoj Toronto) sostoit iz Toronto, Nort Jorka,
Jorka, Etobiko, Skarboro, Ist Jorka.
Jork - gorod s naseleniem 140,000 chelovek. Posle vojny preobladalo
ital'yanskoe i portugal'skoe naselenie, sejchas nacional'nyj sostav smeshannyj
- afrikanskie kanadcy, filipinos, YAmajka. Mnogie sostoyatel'nye ital'yancy
perebralis' v prigorody - Voodbridzh. V gorode malo promyshlennosti -
sledovatel'no nalogovyh postuplenij. V nem zametno men'she kommyuniti centrov
i sportivnyh ploshchadok, chem v Toronto. Plotnost' naseleniya - 6,000 chelovek na
kv.km. - stol'ko zhe, kak v Toronto, v dva raza vyshe, chem v Nort Jorke ili
|tobiko. Polovina naseleniya emigranty - samyj vysokij procent v Bol'shom
Toronto. 20,000 ital'yancev, 11,500 portugal'cev (vdol' Baserst, k severu ot
|glington), 7,200 chernyh. V Jorke samyj vysokij procent bezraboticy sredi
vseh gorodov Toronto. S drugoj storony, bol'shoj vybor otnositel'no bol'shih i
deshevyh kvartir - za 700 dollarov vy mozhete snyat' dvuhbedrumnuyu kvartiru,
chto nevozmozhno v drugih mestah.
Nort Jork, naselenie 575,000, ran'she byl ochen' zazhitochnym rajonom.
Sejchas vdol' Yonge St. vyrosli ofisnye neboskreby i kondominiumy i
haj-rajzy, v rezul'tate poyavilsya kak by novyj down-town (centr goroda v
miniatyure) - vokrug Civic Centre i Ford Centre for the Performing Arts. Dve
treti evrejskoj obshchiny Bol'shogo Toronto zhivet v Nort-Jorke (53,000), takzhe
75,000 ital'yancev (v osnovnom k zapadu ot Yonge St), 37,300 kitajcev
(Severo-vostochnaya chast', okolo Skarboro). 23,000 chernyh (okolo Jane,
severo-zapad). V gorode samoe bol'shoe naselenie Evropejskih "staryh"
immigrantov (62,000), pribyvshih posle Vtoroj mirovoj vojny (v osnovnom
vokrug Downsview Air Force Base). Novye immigranty, 60-70 godov (103,000)-
zhivut k zapadu ot Bathurst, k severu ot 401 shosse. Immigranty poslednih voln
(80-h-90-h godov) - (95,000) - severo-zapad. Universitet York University
privlekaet mnogo studentov. Uroven' bezraboticy - vtoroj (posle Jorka, v
osnovnom v rajone Jane-Finch. Est' bogatye rajony - Bridle Path, okolo
Bayview, gde srednij dom stoit 550,000 $, samoe vysokoe znachenie v Toronto.
Srednij dohod na otdel'no prozhivayushchuyu sem'yu (average household income) v
Nort Jorke - samyj vysokij v Toronto 58,500 $ (v god) (za schet zazhitochnyh
rajonov).
Etobiko: okolo 3% mestnyh zhitelej ne vladeyut anglijskim (do not possess
a working knowledge of English) -eto samyj nizkij procent vo vsem Bol'shom
Toronto. V poslednie gody bol'shoe chislo indijcev (East Indians) poselilos'
na severo-zapade chasti goroda, u aeroporta, gde vedetsya novoe zhiloe
stroitel'stvo. Rajon Kingsvej (Kingsway area) v central'nom |tobiko - odin
iz samyh sostoyatel'nyh v Bol'shom Toronto, so srednim dohodom na sem'yu bolee
75,000$, v to vremya, kak v srednem po (Bol'shomu) Toronto etot pokazatel'
sostavlyaet 57,520$. Dalee v Rexdale v kompleksah vysotnyh zdanij (high-rise
complexes) srednij dohod namnogo men'she.
Skarboro, naselenie 566,000, skorost' rosta goroda i uvelicheniya
naseleniya - po krajne mere v dva raza vyshe, chem v lyubom drugom gorode
Bol'shogo Toronto. Sravnitel'no molodoe naselenie - chetvert' prozhivayushchih
molozhe 19 let. Severnaya chast' goroda vyshe 401 shosse absorbirovala mnogih
immigrantov za poslednie 10 let. CHislo zhitelej, ne govoryashchih po-anglijski,
rastet zdes' bystree, chem v lyubom drugom rajone. Severo-zapadnaya chast'
goroda naschityvaet bol'she kitajskogo naseleniya, chem vse (central'nye)
CHajna-tauny, vmeste vzyatye - bolee 65,000. Takzhe v rajone bolee 28,000
zhitelej Karibskih ostrovov, kotorye zhivut k severu ot Finch.
Central'nyj Toronto: centr goroda (downtown area), kogda-to byl mestom
prozhivaniya rabochego klassa, sejchas odin iz samyh prestizhnyh, ili po krajnej
mere zaselen molodymi lyud'mi, nacelennymi na kar'eru (upscale neighborhood).
V central'nom Toronto idet stroitel'nyj bum, kotoryj ustupaet po razmahu
tol'ko Skarboro. Naselenie vyroslo na 4.6 procenta mezhdu 86 i 91 godami, v
sravnenii s odnim procentom v drugih gorodah (krome Skarboro). Sam gorod
Toronto (zdes' i dalee v otlichie ot Bol'shogo Toronto) imeet naselenie
629,000 i plotnost' naseleniya v dva raza vyshe, chem v drugih gorodah
(Bol'shogo Toronto). Samaya bol'shaya plotnost' naseleniya vdol' linii metro
Bloor-Danforth, mezhdu Yonge and Eglington, gde ona sostavlyaet bolee 10,000
zhitelej na kv. km. V Toronto men'she detej, chem v drugih rajonah, no s drugoj
storony, bol'she vsego molodyh lyudej, zhivushchih v odinochku. |to ob'yasnyaetsya
nalichiem krupnyh universitetov: University of Toronto i Ryerson Polytechnic
University. Pochti polovina otdel'no prozhivayushchih (households) v Toronto - bez
semej, ili zhivut v gruppah v okruzhenii ne-rodstvennikov. Dve samye bol'shie
etnicheskie gruppy - kitajcy i portugal'cy, naselenie v kazhdoj okolo 40,000
chelovek. Sem' procentov lyudej ne vladeyut anglijskim, samyj bol'shoj
pokazatel' v Bol'shom Toronto. Oni prozhivayut v osnovnom v gusto zaselennyh
rajonah k zapadu ot Yonge St. i k yugu ot Eglington. Territorii Toronto, gde
immigranty sostavlyayut bolee 40 procentov naseleniya - na vostok ot Bathurst,
nachinayas' u Front St., etot rajon prostiraetsya do Nort Jorka, Jorka i
|tobiko.

sovetskim pasportom) ne vypuskali iz Leningrada. Na kriki neschastnoj: "da
vot moya Grin-karta, mozhete posmotret'", rabotniki Aeroflota rezonno
zamechali: "a pochemu zhe ona ne zelenaya? "
Obrazec epistolyarnogo zhanra poyavilsya vchera v nashem pod'ezde:
"Tomorrow all water will be shut off for an hour. Pacific time not
known. Super."

63. SLOVARX ZAPADNYH REALIJ DLYA PROGRAMMISTOV
Dlya srednej ruki programmista samoe glavnoe dlya nahozhdeniya pervoj
raboty - eto references (to est' pis'mennye i ustnye rekomendacii s
predydushchih mest raboty). CHem bolee solidnye eti rekomendacii, tem bystree vy
najdete rabotu. Znakomyj programmist vsego lish' s dvumya godami stazha - no v
firme IBM v Germanii za 10 dnej poluchil 4 oficial'nyh predlozheniya na rabotu
(job offers). Horosho ustraivayutsya sertificirovannye specialisty Majkrosofta,
Novela, Lotosa. Lyubaya sertifikaciya i opyt raboty v mezhdunarodnoj i izvestnoj
kampanii rezko povyshaet vashi shansy.
Rabot "nachal'nogo urovnya" (entry level position) - prakticheski net.
Obucheniem na proizvodstve starayutsya ne zanimat'sya.
Posmotrite v slovare znacheniya sleduyushchih realij, potomu chto oni vam
ponadobyatsya:
Code-freeze stop of development for the purpose of testing, QA
and passing into production.
Outsourcing - using third-party company or providing
consulting/development services to other companies
Production - software that is already passed to clients, no
changes are possible, only logs and tickets
Ticket (Log) - detailed description of a flaw in a software
product, that was passed into production, provided by clients or in QA and
are registered in a special database. Each ticket (log) is assigned to a
certain programmer and has to be closed (solved).
Roll-Out - installation of some system on the spot, usually with
elements of training, support, maintenance.
QA (Quality Assurance) - polite term for testing.
Vseh rabotayushchih mozhno razdelit' na sleduyushchie osnovnye kategorii:
Full-time/temporary i permanent/contract. Na postoyannoj rabote kak
pravilo u vas est' neskol'ko nedel' na nachal'nuyu raskachku i (samo)obuchenie
(uchit' nikto ne budet, i ne nadejtes'), na kontrakte - net.
Kogda vy chitaete ob'yavlenie o nalichii programmistkih vakansij v gazete
ili v Internete, pervoe chto vy dolzhny dlya sebya opredelit' - rech' idet o
konkretnoj vakansii ili o shirokom spektre vakansij (vo vtorom sluchae eto kak
pravilo job-search agency).
Proanalizirujte i nauchites' opredelyat' dlya sebya vse osnovnye nyuansy:
nazvana li po imeni firma, esli ona (i harakter raboty) opisany, to
naskol'ko podrobno, nazvano li kolichestvo vakansij, kakaya eto vakansiya -
full-time ili temporary, permanent ili contract. CHto dano v obyavlenii -
telefon (est' li mestnaya ATS - Meridian Switch Box na firme, ili otvechaet
sekretarsha), faks, e-mail ili pochtovyj yashchik, dana li familiya i dolzhnost'
cheloveka dlya kontaktov (kto-eto - tehnicheskij specialist -malenokaya firma
ili rabotnik otdela kadrov). Nazvana konkretnaya zarplata ili vilka zarplaty.
Voz'mite vnerashnyuyu gazetu ili gazetu dvuhnedel'noj davnosti- bylo li eto
ob'yavlenie (esli da - to eto job-search agency). Poprobujte ponyat' uzhe iz
teksta ob'yavleniya - chem vyzvano ob'yavlenie - rasshireniem firmy, ili bol'shoj
tekuchest'yu kadrov - chto chasto byvaet na obsluzhivanii ili pri nizkoj
zarplate).
Proanalizirujte - v kakoj gazete poyavilos' eto ob'yavlenie - v Glob and
Mail malen'koe (na 3 strochki) ob®yavlenie na nedelyu stoit bolee sotni
dollarov, v Toronto Star - 100 dollarov, v russkoj gazete takoe obyavlenie -
5-15 dollarov, v internete - besplatno. Sootvetstvenno vy mozhete delat'
vyvody o platezhesposobnosti firmy.
CHitat' razdely Career s ob'yavleniyami bol'shogo razmera - eto libo
bol'shie job-search agencies, kotoroe dayut "optovoe", t.e. nekonkretnoe
ob®yavlenie, v raschete na podbor bol'shogo chisla lyudej na budushchie zakazy, libo
eto najm menedzherov verhnego zvena, gde bez Kanadskogo ekspiriensa
razgovarivat' konechno ne budut.
Postarajtes' opredelit' k kakoj kategorii otnositsya firma, dayushchaya
ob'yavlenie:
1. Turn-key (consulting) solutions provider
2. Specialised software development company
3 Job search agency
4 Actual employer - small company
5 Actual employer - large company (redko).
Kogda vy podpisyvaete dokumenty s job-search agency (kak pravilo eto
kontrakt) to vy poluchaete paycheck ot etoj kompanii. Ona v svoyu ochered'
vystavlyaet invoice na firmu, na kotoroj vy rabotaete. Vnov' pribyvshemu
trudno ustroitsya na postoyannuyu rabotu bez references, odnako i job-search
agency nevygodno vas ustraivat', poskol®ku vy mozhete pretendovat' na men'shuyu
zarlatu, sledovatel'no komissionnye dlya firmy-posrednika budut takzhe men'she.
Bol'she vsego komandirovok, naihudshie usloviya raboty, maksimal'naya
otvetstvennost' i psihologicheskij diskomfort, maksimal'nye trebovaniya k
(anglijskomu) yazyku - client support i production (osobenno eto otnositsya k
miru mejnfrejmov. Lyudi, kotorye etim zanimayutsya chasto schitayutsya ne
programmistami, a "consultants", dezhurstva - po skol'zyashchemu grafiku
(osobenno v bankah) togda u vas kruglosutochno dolzhen byt' biper, dazhe dazhe
doma v seredine nochi vy obyazany na nego otvetit'.
Naibolee prestizhnaya i privilegirovannaya oblast' - eto development,
minimal'nye trebovaniya k yazyku, minimum poezdok i obsluzhivaniya i
nervotrepok, kak pravilo dostatochno netoroplivyj temp raboty, prakticheski
nikakih pererabotok (posle konca rabochego dnya). V to zhe vremya - uzkaya
specializaciya, chtoby vas vzyali vy dolzhny byt' horoshim specialistom s
horoshimi references, ochen' trudno smenit' profil' - esli vy uzhe zayavili o
sebe kak specialiste v kakoj-to uzkoj oblasti.
Razrabotka programmnogo obespecheniya delaetsya (s organizacionnoj tochki
zreniya) po sleduyushchej sheme:
DEVELOPMENT =>CODE FREEZE => BUILD => TESTING => QA => PRODUCTION =>
SUPPORT => DEVELOPMENT.
Specializaciya truda v Kanadskih firmah uzhe, chem v Rossijskih,
disciplina - zhestche, otnoshenie k klientam i nachal'stvu - podobostrastnoe. S
psihologicheskoj tochki zreniya otkrytyh konfliktov starayutsya izbegat'. Pri
uvol'nenii nastoyashchaya prichina nikogda ne nazyvaetsya. Procvetayut kumovstvo i
blat, osobenno v bol'shih kampaniyah i gosudarstvennyh predpriyatiyah.
CHem krupnee ili "gosudarstvennee" kompaniya, tem medlennee rabotayut i
bol'she zanimayutsya vyyasneniem otnoshenij. V gosudarstvennyh predpriyatiyah
(gospitalya, transport, elektrostancii, shkoly, community subsidized colleges)
- nastoyashchij socializm, vse lyudi - "otmorozhennye", osnovnaya zadacha -
potratit' byudzhetnye den'gi, chtoby v sleduyushchem godu vypisali bol'she. Otpuska
i benefity zametno bol'she, hotya sama zarplata mozhet byt' men'she.
