husband is in that state. Then he asked me the that city where my hus is around 5 hrs drive frm this city and so eventually you will move to that state. then he asked me why he choose this city and some personal ques.
My que is, can they ask ques like these. I mean these are personal questions which they shouldnt ask. I can be wrong.

Mark, I wanted to ask if there is a way, I can get 'hired' i.e paid for my dev work, by some remote entity. The fact that I have moved phisically from one country to another will be less interfering in my work if I am working with some arrangement remotely.

With all due respct, this is a dangerous way to think. As Richard Bolles (What Color Is Your Parachute?) Notes: it doesn't matter what you think, it matter's what the employers think.
You can, of course, argue that because employers have no common consensus (Richard shows resumes of hired candidates to employers who say, "I would never consider the candidate with that reusme"), everyone's opinion is valid. In that sense your opinion is valid. My take on it as an employer is that most companies do not look well on it. It's less experience. It suggests a greater likelihood of you leaving. It looks suspiciously like being regularly laid off. It's "different."
Q: What's the difference between a candidate who often gets laid off and used the time to get certs, and one who has breaks for other reasons and gets certs?
A: I don't know, but in the 15-45 seconds I'll spend looking at a resume, I'll usually decide it's more worthwhile to consider another candidate.
Remember, job hunting is not about finding the absolute best candidate, but about finding the best candidate at reasonable cost.

Ofcourse your correct, but how are people who are laid off supposed to deal with their time? So according to you they might as well do nothing... I respectfully disagree.

Just curious, for most companies, the developer is bound by a non-disclosure agreement and I dont think he/she can show any code from his/her previous project to the interviewer.
Then why does the interviewer expect you to produce sample code? Not sure if I am missing something.

Manish, I really liked your ideas. I always wanted to do something but being a perfectionist, I did not start at all till I landed on something 'good enough' to do. Result being I did not start anything at all!
Im really inetrested in trying it out. Can you share any material you know on 'how to make ones own website'? I am searching on web and trying things on my own. If you have some tips/suggestions/free website hosting allowed sites please let me know.
Regards,
Tina
