Здравствуйте! Покритикуйте, пожалуйста, резюме. Мы сейчас находимся в США по визе I в командировке. Командировка заканчивается, хотим найти работу мужу по визе H1B и продолжить свое пребывание в США. Составили резюме, уже месяца два каждый день рассылаем по разным компаниям - результат нулевой (три звонка от фирм без продолжения, несколько отказов по почте…). Буду очень благодарна за полезную критику и советы.
