Hi!

I'd like to dedicate this question (hope it's not a subjective) especially to people who own their companies.

Would you (and why) hire a foreigner, which experience is documented in CV and portfolio, which can communicate in english (with grammar mistakes, but still)?

I am writing in the name of all these guys looking for great opportunities abroad, living in countries which do not give you any opportunities at all. Is it real, to be hired like a programmer (PHP, Ruby, Python, C#) in country like UK, USA, Nederland, Sweeden or even Germany, if you're a foreigner?

Please response in two categories:
a) foreigner with engineer degree, zend certificate, few open source projects
b) foreigner without any degree, with nice portfolio, and few big projects created

Also, does First Certificate in English aka FCE matter for you ?
