Hi all,

Cirrus Logic CS4952X
processor.
- DTS Legacy and NEO6
- DTS-HD Low Bit Rate
- Implementation of 64Bands and 32Bands perfect reconstruction filter 
banks (24 Bits) for DTS-HD
Lossless audio decoder on Cirrus Logic CS4953X processor.
- Testing framework development (C/C++) for DTS-HD based on DTS-HD test 
vectors.
As a front man I was working on following projects:
- DTS-HD Master Audio
- DTS-HD High Resolution Audio

I want to note that I've basic knowledge of German and advanced 
knowledge of English.

Warm Regards,
-Dejan

You should contact the big german engineering service providers with 
your CV. If any customer has neadd of your skills, they will contact 
you. Sometimes there are some of these offers from some german car 
multimedia device producers.

Also advanced ist das Englisch nicht. Nur so als Kommentar...

[Gast (Gast)]

Lookz like Balcanic English :)

[Sajic D. (chilli123)]

Thanks a lot guys I just thought that you'd like to help me but it looks 
like I was wrong. I'm not sure about comment above:"Lookz like Balcanic 
English :)" a especially with "Lookz ". Which version of English is it! 
Once again thanks for your help I really appreciate it if you have more 
useful information please share it with me.
P.S.

so I can search it.

The problem is that most german job web pages are in german language and 
not in English.

If your German is  good enough you could put your CV e.g. at www.job.de 
. Then the companies will contact you.

[Sajic D. (chilli123)]

I'm already registered on  www.job.de and I'm waiting for response. My 
German knowledge is good enough to be able to read pages that are wrote 
on German.(with a little help of "google translate" :-) )
I've one more question. Because I don't have experience in job searching 
I'm not sure what does it mean when they(company) ask you to send 
diplomas and travel coast, see below text from mail that I got at 
Friday. Is it regular procedure or it means something. Once again thanks 
a lot for time that you've spent giving me a lot of useful information.

Received mail:
Thank you for your application and your interest in working for our 
company. We would like to get some more information from you. Could you 
please send us your complete CV as well as your diploma and letters of 
reference about your professional experience.
Furthermore we would like to know, if you are still living in Serbia and 
if you could calculate the travel costs for a trip.
We are looking forward to hearing from you and will come back to you 
after reviewing your complete application.

Kind regards

> complete CV as well as your diploma and letters of
> reference about your professional experience

complete CV means a CV starting with birth date and town, school time, 
and everything you did in the past. All information should be given with 
year/month. Look here for an example: 
http://www.heiko-mell.de/html/muster-lebenslauf.htm

diploma: German: "Kopie des Diplomzeugnisses"

letters reference about your professional experience: German: 
"Arbeitszeugnisse"

[Martin (Gast)]

If comanies want this information from you this is good news: They are 
interesed in you and more information.

> calculate the travel costs for a trip
They want to see you and perhaps the want to pay the trip for you I 
guess. So look for a cheap flight or train connection, hotel stay and 
all cost for such a visit, make a list and hope it is not too much for 
them and they want to pay this.

> diploma: German: "Kopie des Diplomzeugnisses"
>
>letters reference about your professional experience: German:
>"Arbeitszeugnisse"

Scan in this documents and mail it to the comany.

Q1.
Usually, I find the company and send them my job application. In few 
days they ask me for additional informations and diplomas or they inform 
me that "they have decided against taking me application." So my opinion 
is if they interested for additional information that's a good news, do 
you think same?

Q2.
They would like to know what my salary expectations are so I need to get 
a better idea of how much I can reasonably ask for and how much I'll 
need to live decently in Germany?

Q3. I would like to ask you if you know any any company in Wiesbaden or 
near to it so I can send them my CV? I was there several times and it 
looks wonderful.

[hansel (Gast)]

Try Fujitsu Microelectronics located in Langen (between Frankfurt and 
Darmstadt). They do business also with multimedia and audio 
semiconductor (development). It is a multicultural company if you like 
also japanese working culture ;-) It is not so far from Wiesbaden. Have 
fun!

[Sajic D. (chilli123)]

Thanks a lot for information, I just visited it and I found few 
interesting jobs.

[Moe (Gast)]

Well my comment was pertaining to your statement of "Advanced English" 
which you prove yourself wrong by writing in pretty improper English. 
Don't understand my wrong, but if you say about yourself that your 
English skills are advanced you should at least be able to have a CV 
without any language mistakes.
And your CV really does have a couple of non-acceptable mistakes.

Anyways, might wanna revise ur CV...

[Sajic D. (chilli123)]

Thanks a lot for your well-meaning suggestions I'll revise my CV and 
correct it but my intension was on comment about "Balcanic English". I'd 
like to understand your comment but I still have problem with it.
