I wouldn’t recommend it. It’s often a race to the bottom for the person for who will do the project for the cheapest amount of money.

Considerably the person who offers the least amount will do the job. Usually, weekends are off work and I have a lot of time to do something, and also, foreign currencies are significantly higher in value than our local currency due to fluctuations caused by sanctions,so a small amount in dollars or euros is not bad when exchanged to local currency.,

If you find the company that will employ you, usually their HR will sort all the immigration issues

Before you apply for the job, get in touch with the German embassy and let them know there's a job opportunity in your field. Ask them about the main requirements in case you get accepted. This way you will be fully prepared if it goes through.

German embassy published a statement on the website and announced their office is closed due to the current situation. But they did provide a phone number for contact.

Finding a company to accept interview and the process is the main problem.

They didn't ask how big your johnson was and if you don't mind working naked, so that sounds promising.

I usually have to put a line on my resume that says “No butt stuff”.

Do you work in the porn industry? If so, does your company hire specialists with excellent shaving and massage skills?

Funny you should ask that. True story: 15 years ago I worked for a digital cloud services company that ran transcoding and video hosting for B2B partners.

I can tell you that most of our customers weren't selling yoga videos.

But your shaving game slaps, no cap fr fr.

I wish i was your colleague or worked under you, man, you are a charming person. I'd shave your whole body without charging a penny.

These days when I load LinkedIn and other platforms, I see a lot of job offers abroad, but when I get to the qualifications and read them, this sentence is highlighted:

Applicants must have the legal right to work in the country where the position is based, without the need for visa sponsorship. This role does not offer visa sponsorship.

I worked with full cisco equipment such as Switch, Router and Firewall for a while and for the most part i was responsible for configuring Hub and Spoke topology. This is in the scope of CCNP/CCNP Security courses. But currently in my new position I only deal with Cisco switches. I would like to work with Hub and Spoke topology again and be involved in this field, the problem is that rarely a company or organization needs this topology and in most cases they are not willing to buy the required equipment.
Cisco devices are well known in almost all regions of the world, outside of my country, I want to find a position that requires Cisco skills and this type of qualification.

A type of online job recruitment that does not explain the fine details.

I attached a cover letter along with my resume, which was a bit exaggerated.

Spoiler: cover letter

Dear Hiring Team,

I am writing to express my interest in the ....
position at ....

I am an Information Security and Infrastructure Engineer with more than 8 years of experience in enterprise IT environments, combining hands-on technical security,
infrastructure operations, and security governance activities.

In my current role, I support a large research organization with over 500 users, where I am responsible for network and security infrastructure, vulnerability management, SIEM-based monitoring, and security incident handling. I work closely with IT and operational teams to assess risks, improve security controls, and
maintain a stable and secure IT environment.

My background includes experience with firewall and network security, SOC operations, IAM solutions, and security monitoring platforms. In addition to technical security,
I have been involved in developing security procedures, supporting audits, and increasing security awareness among technical and non-technical stakeholders.

What particularly attracts me to .... is the combination of strong engineering culture, practical security ownership, and a product that directly supports IT and security teams in managing complex infrastructures. I enjoy working in collaborative, low-ego environments where security is seen as an enabler rather
than a blocker.

I am fully comfortable working in English and currently improving my German language skills. I would welcome the opportunity to contribute my technical and analytical security expertise to your growing international team.

Kind regards,
Siamak ...

I think your best interview approach would be to do a gray hat raid of the interviewer's computer systems, you pull all the interviewer's risque photos off of his iCloud, and you share the financial spreadsheets of all the people working in his and other departments.

And then tell him that if he doesn't hire you for $500,000 a year, all of that is going public on Reddit.

How could anyone refuse an info sec hire with those kinda credentials, right?
