Umm.... 1. The point of a probation period is for the employer to judge your skill level. Not every employer uses probation periods - the following methods are common techniques US companies use to weed out weak workers: A. Probation period (as noted above). Usually 3 months, but duration is up to employer. During this period the employer will be judging how well you fit in their organization. They might let you go for poor performance,or because your too loud, or even too quiet. During this period you should make an effort to get to know your co-workers, understand your job, and of course always do your best work. B. Hire from a temp agency. Some companies hire most of their permanent staff by hiring temp workers thru a temp agency, and then permamently hiring those temps that make a good impression.
2. Your more likely to get hired if you don't worry so much about what benefits your getting. Focus on doing a good job. If your a high performer, you can negotiate much better benefits than someone who is not as good. 3. AX is split into layers for the very reason of allowing companies to protect the code they have written while also allowing others to over-ride those changes with their own. For instance, Microsoft may have code in the sys layer, a consulting company may put code in the var layer, and the company using it may put code in the cus layer. When AX executes the code, it will ignore code in the var layer if it finds code in the cus layer. Thus, you should never have to modify the var layer if you have access to the cus layer. Simply write a replacement method in the cus layer.... --- In [email protected], Dinkar Lalit <dinkarla...@...> wrote: > > > Greeting all, > > I had to send this message, especially for the AX Developers in the US that > some companies are advertising to hire developers for permanent (full time) > position.
