Suspicious Job Ads At Texas Instruments

Date: Thursday, December 17, 2009 12:53 AM

<<<<< JOB DESTRUCTION NEWSLETTER No. 2059 -- 12/16/2009 >>>>>

Employers sometimes have no intention of hiring Americans so they code their
job ads in such as way that everyone gets the message that "no American is
wanted for this job". You can see some examples by going to these web pages:
"Job Advertisements Us Citizens Need Not Apply!!!", "PERM Fake Job Ads in
Sunday June 24, 2007 Pittsburgh Tribune-Review", [links after job ads] or go
to the Job Destruction Newsletter and search the archive for all subject
titles with "job ad" in them. I have been covering these job ads in the
newsletter for years so you won t have any shortage of examples.

So, Texas Instruments has two job ads on their web site that are worthy of
attention. Excerpts of the ads are below. To view the entire ad go to the TI
online career center and enter the job ID or job title into their search
engine.

Note: at the time of this writing the entire TI website is down, so I can t go
back to verify that the ads are still there. Looks like the offshored TI IT
team isn t so bright after all!

Three examples of job ads are presented below. You decide if TI coded the ads
for foreigners only. It could nothing more than innocent typos because only
two ads of this kind were found in the database -- or it could be something
more sinister. A comment is included before each ad delineated by brackets [].

<<<<< Job Ad #1 >>>>>

[This is a typical TI job ad. At the end it says "Equal Employment
Opportunity". That's standard boilerplate all companies say nowadays. It is
meant to assure non-white minorities that they will be first in line for this
job.]

Job Title: METROLOGY PROCESS ENGINEER
Job ID: 35500
Location: TX, Dallas Metroplex
Full/Part Time: Full-Time
Regular/Temporary: Regular

Proven skill set and interest in developing and transferring metrology
methodology into production is needed. The person in this position must be
able to thrive in a fast-paced, fab environment with multiple shifting
priorities and have the ability to work well on cross functional teams and
closely with the customer.

Don t let this opportunity pass you by!
Equal Employment Opportunity
Texas Instruments is an Equal Opportunity Employer.

<<<<< Job Ad #2 >>>>>

[This ad has a little surprise at the end (look for the ^ underlined text).
After "Equal Employment Opportunity" it says TI India, even though the job is
located in Manchester, NH.]

Job Title: HR MGR
Job ID: 34418
Location: NH, Manchester
Full/Part Time: Full-Time
Regular/Temporary: Regular

This manager will work in a team environment with leadership teams of each TI
organization and will also team with the various HR people required to do the
job, making the ability to work effectively with senior management, HR teams,
engineering and finance very important. This person will need to thrive in a
collaborative team environment to be successful.
Don t let this opportunity pass you by!

Equal Employment Opportunity
Texas Instruments India is an Equal Opportunity Employer.

^^^^^

<<<<< Job Ad #3 >>>>>

[This is ad is even more suspicious than the second example (look for the ^
underlined text). Before "Equal Employment Opportunity" it lists as a required
skill "cross-cultural team environment". In today's politically correct
climate my guess is that whoever gets the job should expect to work with
foreigners from India and the Islamic Middle East, since TI Dallas hires large
numbers of them with H-1B visas. If that big hint doesn't discourage an
American applicant it is followed by TI India, even though the job is
advertised for Dallas Metroplex, TX. Get the hint?]

Job Title: DIGITAL IC PHYSICAL DESIGN ENGINEER Job ID: 34664
Location: TX, Dallas Metroplex
Full/Part Time: Full-Time
Regular/Temporary: Regular

We re searching for a motivated self-starter who can manage multiple
priorities and set realistic plans based on required tasks, available
resources and schedule. This engineer must perform well in a crossfunctional,
cross-cultural team

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ environment

and with internal customers. Don t let this opportunity pass you by!
Equal Employment Opportunity
Texas Instruments India is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
