Need some Advice, please

Hi all,

Question : Is my qualifications (see below) enough to find a job to
begin with? or i need something more to know? it have been almost 1and
1/2 year that i am looking for job in Canada and recently in US. All
the job's adds are requiring 5 + years of experience and bunch of
things to know : PCI-express, Ethernet, TCP/IP protocol...etc. This is
very scary. What is your opinnions or advices to me guys.
The most of the jobs on the net for canada are putten by consulting
firm : Intelligent technology solustions, who are seems to be
monopolising the market, I called them at ottawa, they advices me not
to count at all on recruiting agency because i am a new graduat, but
they got all the jobs i am looking for..!? what to do? Any ideas? any
one knows how to find a list of Compagnys that are working in this
field of interest in canada so i can send directly a resume to them?

Thanks a lot for anybody who take a minute of his precious time to
write me something back.

Here are my qualifications :
===================
* MSEE with emphasis on Telecom & FPGA design (oct 2004)
* Xilinx Vertex II FPGA experience
* Xilinx ISE tool for Synthesis and P&R
* Mentor Graphics tools : Modelsim, ModelDesigner and HDL designer.
* Matlab & Simulink with Xilinx System Generator toolbox for HW
Co-Simulation
* Good at VHDL coding
* Beginner level in C programming
* Beginner level in TCL/TK programming

Let's rise this issu of unemployment among us as for now the industry
it impoving and the job offers are slightly increasing.

Thanks again

Provide some details about your Xilinx work and your Matlab code to
show
people how you can solve problems. Also, if you did a thesis for your
MS, provide information (title, etc0 about it.

Good luck,
Dave

 

Hi and thanks for you participation to this posting. Yes actually you
did bring a good idea on which I was thinking already. I think to show
off them on website. i performed my thesis with VHDL optimized for
Virtex-II, did a SW test, used Xilinx ISE for P&R and then using Xilinx
System Generator toolbox on Matlab & Simulink i performed the HW test.
By that time I was the first Student that worked with this toolbox for
the HW/SW co-simulation (I worked hard to understand this toolbox in
very short time). I realized a good test plan and my thesis directors
did like it a lot, so i got a good final mark.
