I have a friend doing some work in New Jersey. The situation is 
exactly the same for Canadians working in the U.S. If the letter 
of employment specifies "management consultant" you don't need a 
degree (I think). A permit of this type has to be renewed every 3 
months at the original point of entry including the $50.

The US/Canada free trade agreement has made it much easier for certain
classes of professionals to work across the border on a temporary basis.
One category of interest to many reader of this group is "computer systems
analyst" (or something to that effect, I forget the exact title.)
There are a number of other job classifications -- see your immigration
and employment office for details.

I spent a year working in Canada from July 89 to June 90.
I've heard of no changes since then, and I'm sure the situation
is symetrical for Canadian nationals working in the US.

Here is what I needed then to get a work permit:

   1. Proof of US citizenship (birth certificate, etc.)
   2. A written job offer from a Canadian employer.
   3. Professional credentials for the appropriate job
      category, in this case a university degree.
      (I don't think a two year degree will do, but
      I could be wrong.)
   4. $50 cash.

My permit was made out on the spot when I arrived at the border.
It took about 15 minutes.  Permits are good for a year at a time,
and can be renewed.

If anyone is aware of changes in these arrangements since 1990,

Subject: "Probing" questions (H2H)

INTRVW6.H2H   921123
 
                        "Probing" Questions
 
All questions are probes.  The candidate is the proverbial "black
box".  Your questions, and the responses that they elicit, are meant
to allow you to determine the "internal structure" of the candidate,
and their suitability to the position.  Questioning technique,
therefore, is very important.  Again, this is an area where everyone
thinks they excel, and few do.
 
For those who seriously want to improve in this area, consider your
local school board or teaching college.  As with standardized
testing you will find help in the psychology department, so with
"questioning technique" you will find the best sources in the
education faculty.  Note that I do not suggest you go to individual
teachers.  Many teachers fail to take advantage of these resources
themselves.  However, the best research and practical work in the
field is to be found in studies directed towards the use of
questioning in the classroom, and those studies and exercises can
help your hiring process.
 
The types of questions that go into an interview are many, and they
vary with the position under review.  Some will see the title of
"probing" questions as relating only to those queries which are
devious, and designed somehow to "trap" the candidate into revealing
themselves.  This is actually much harder to do than it sounds. 
Most managers will try to reduce the number of candidates
interviewed to less than ten.  The average applicant for an entry
level job will often go through ten interviews or more before
landing a first job these days, so the candidate will often have the
"edge" on you in interview experience.
 
Rather than trying to trap the candidate, the best route is simply
to try to get all possible relevant information.  Again, what you
are trying to do is not to eliminate candidates, but to pick the
best one.  If you spend all of your time in an attempt to avoid
being fooled, you are simply going to hire the person who is best at
fooling you.  If, instead, you concentrate on finding the best
candidate, the problem of being fooled will likely not even be an
issue.  One, or a few, of the interviewees will stand out.  If one,
you've got your new hire.  If a few, you may want to go for a second
round of interviews to fine tune, or you may simply wish to choose
one of this obviously sterling crew, and get on with it.  Remember
that a candidate who is wasting resources in trying to con you is
going to be good at conning you, but want be able to give a good
account of themselves in terms of the position itself.

I just had an interesting conversation with a sales-type at Truger
Technologies, a computer distributer that bills itself as a UNIX
house, about a DOS terminal emulator by Digiboard called
Double-View. According to the literature it emulates VT100, VT200,
Wyse 60 and AT/386. It apparently uses a TSR to perform hotkey
pop-up UNIX sessions and can do cut-and-paste betwen the UNIX
window and the DOS window. When I asked to come down to see it in
action I was told that they don't use it in-house andthat they
would need to set it up. Right! The suspicion runs through my mind
is that the salesman will do a two day crash course on how to use
this thing, won't be able to answer any question that can't be read
off the literature, and if it's any good how come they're not using
it themselves? So I'm sending this little missive around hoping to
pick up any gossip on whether this stuff is any good, and if you
want to drop any hints about something that'll do the same thing
better, I'm all ears.

To all my good friends I wish to announcethe re-emgerence of "bent"
from the mists of obscurity. "bent" currently talks to "compus" and
"druid" and will appearing in the uucp maps soon.

I use Digi-View.  It is a good product.  The best thing about it though is 
that it does a full proper SCOANSI (Santa Cruz Operation Xenix/Unix version 
of colour ANSI) emulation.  The price is right too, less than $200 bucks
for a TEN user licence (install on up to TEN DOS PCs).  DigiBoard are also
very good at supporting their users, just call them they wont even ask who
you are just how they can help you!
