Re: Fast Company Magazine Looking for Offshoring Job Victims

Please work on this subject on the midrange-jobs list.  You would be 
welcome there, there's a lot of this discussion there, (much to the 
chagrin of several people actually looking for 400 personnel).

Fast Company Magazine Looking for Offshoring Job Victims






Hi all,
I don't know about you, but I'm concerned about this "offshoring" trend. I
believe we're giving away the country, certainly the ability for all us
"middle-class" to make a living in this country. Anyway, this magazine is
going to publish an article on the subject.  I thought some of you may be
interested.

=========================================================================
Those affected by outsourcing, L-1 and H-1b visas please contact Jean
McGregor, Fast Company Magazine.   jmcgregor@fastcompany  212-389-5445

She is looking to put significant focus on those affected.  She's looking
for 100 or so people.

Also, They are also interested in people outside IT.

Fast Company magazine is planning a major feature for an upcoming issue
that looks at the offshoring trend and hopes to put a human face on this
growing  issue. In addition to a main story that will look at the issue in
depth,  we want to give the piece some real impact by including the photos
of  a large number of highly skilled workers who've lost their jobs to
offshore  outsourcing. Therefore, we're looking to speak to a diverse 
group
of such  people--either unemployed or re-employed--who would be willing to
be  photographed, share a few details about the job they lost and briefly
discuss their general thoughts on the outsourcing trend and how it's
affected their lives. If you're not interested in participating but know
someone who might, please feel free to forward this. We need to speak to
people by the end of next week (Jan. 23) but as soon as possible is always
better. Thanks, and I look forward to hearing from you.
