Huh?
Just the thought that, all other things (skill, CV/resume) being equal, it
is difficult to check references and the like and, because of the downturn,
competition is higher. For the same reason that an employer in the UK would
pick somebody with local experience over me, all things being equal, and
please don't suggest they wouldn't. They would in a heartbeat.
I'm not sure what your thoughts are, but I see that Europe holds dear the
same kind of "centric" nonsense that you suggest the US has.
Cheers,
Sean
