install two software and configure accordingly.
make some changes to my cell phone, insert unsupported SIM, connect cell phone to PC via USB.
told them the order number and user ID/password generated by the installed software,
they took control of my PC remotely, after about 10 minutes, they told me a code,

my simple solution to "Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server" when add account to Android

My android version: 4.0.4

I can not add account either in Play Store or in Youtube app as searched online, or in Settings-->Accounts & Sync.

tried in browser I can browse websites, also I can login to my google account from desktop.

accidentally,I turned on "Wi-Fi direct" and it automatically turned off WiFi, then I turned off "Wi-Fi direct",

turn on WiFi again, try to add account in Settings-->Accounts & Sync, it works! then I tried in Play Store, it also works.

so essentially it probably just to reset your WiFi connection.

so if you have this issue, try this simple solution first instead reset your phone to factory default or root your phone.

IT job hunting tips from 10 years Canada work experience

1. First you must break language barrier, you should be confident to communicate with people of different accent.
usually the first round contact to you is from HR person who just gauge your language.
2. Google interview questions and answers of your position, modify answers according to your reality and rehearse well.also check glassdoor.com to see what current and former employee say about it
3. Find a recruiter to hunt job for you for free. save your time, also recruiter can land you a job with highest possible pay,
they charge employer not employee
4. Answer all questions positively, even for questions asking your weakness, do not be honest for these kind of question,
make up a fake answer which sounds and real answer but good for you.
5. interviewer asking too many compensation questions usually means they can not provide competitive compensation.
6. interviewer asking too many physical work environment questions means they do not have pleasant work environment.
7. And so on
