10 Tips on how to find a job in America.
1) Sign up for linkedIn, fill in your personal information carefully and write your resume.

Then naturally someone will come to you. There are many headhunters contacting you, which is very unreliable. You will find that some people will contact you even if they don't understand what you are doing. However, some companies do recruit people through linkedIn. Not to mention, a duck, a sorry penguin in the forum filled in linkedIn information when they started looking for a job. What happened? Penguin said shyly, I'm not looking for a job. I really didn't do anything. HR came to me directly, and I came to work directly, so I followed, saving trouble. Well, I can only admire that linkedIn is a magical land. Of course, so is our forum. Every story will happen. . . blush ...

2) After completing the internship or cooperating with others, you should recommend it through linkedin.

Your "referrer" can leave comments and recommendations for your linkedin account for others or recruitment companies to see publicly. A good recommendation will naturally help you. Employers are willing to use personal information (name, work and education experience) on linkedin to contact people who are praised by others. The more times you praise, the more reliable you will be.

3) Establish your own network through links.

Especially people you know. Whether you are an undergraduate or even a high school classmate, or someone you met during your stay in the United States, you should strive to establish a wide range of contacts and keep in touch. Remember: whether you think recommending people on the Internet is enjoyable or boring, helping people you know submit your resume is the best way to find a job. Also, the establishment of the network must be peaceful in advance, and don't wait until someone needs help to remember it.

4) Pay close attention to the school CDC (Career Development Center) or CSC (Career Service Center) website.

As students with little or no work experience, if they openly go off-campus to apply for jobs, they must compete with experienced people in the job market. Many positions may not be willing to recruit inexperienced people at all. However, if a company intends to recruit students, it will definitely go to the CDC /CSC of the school for publicity, or at least post positions on the CDC website. These positions are the most reliable, because when you are looking for a job outside, you don't know whether the person who receives the resume is willing to consider students, but the person who comes to the school to recruit is for students, so once you see such positions and news, you need to act immediately and prepare immediately.

5) Job fair is the highlight.

Generally, each school organizes at least two large-scale career/job fairs every year, once in spring and autumn, which the school attaches great importance to because the reputation of the school ultimately depends on the employment rate. The companies in the Job Fair can be roughly divided into two categories, which warald mentioned in an earlier article analyzing the geographical advantages of schools, national and local companies.

Which companies come to a school's job fair and whether there are irregular job updates on the CDC website are greatly affected by the economic situation, but they also have a lot to do with the strength of the school and the reputation of graduates. If your school is deficient in this respect, and there are few professionals in national and local companies, then you should be prepared to find a job in the future, and don't expect too much from the internal resources of the school.

6) Ask CDC /CSC staff to modify your resume and simulate an interview.

The disadvantage of these staff is that they lack professional knowledge and can't make suggestions for changes according to your professional background. In other words, they can't help you with the most important content selection and design, which is similar to the main problem of letting foreigners modify documents when applying for studying abroad. However, people in vocational centers can do well in specific language organization and grammar, resume style and design. They are originally people with HR background recruited by the school from the industry and are familiar with the recruitment style of the industry.

A mock interview refers to an interview simulation, and then the staff evaluates and analyzes your performance to help you improve. Similarly, these staff members usually lack professional knowledge, but they are very experienced in behavioral issues and overall interview style.

The quality of vocational service varies from school to school, and it is generally aimed at the characteristics of students in our school. For example, in some Ivy League colleges and individual colleges, graduate students are very popular in academic circles because of their big signboards, but various lectures in vocational centers are not aimed at industries. Warald also saw this situation.

7) Looking for a job online at Haitou.

Warald wrote an article before: It is indeed a job search engine that collects all kinds of jobs together. It is indeed very suitable for investing in the sea. You know, not everyone can get a job in an advantageous project, and the Shanghai Investment Association is the way many people have to go.

Different majors and majors have different websites to visit. For example, academickeys, chronicle, higheredjobs and some academic websites are also very useful for finding academic positions.

8) Change the address

For example, if you live in Louisiana and want to find a job in IC/VLSI in California, or come to new york City from Florida to find a job in finance, what should you do? Many companies only consider local candidates, that is, recruiting people only looking for local ones. At first glance, you left Missisipi's address when you submitted your resume, and you have no work experience. It is estimated that it will be directly killed. So I suggest you contact your classmates and friends and change their address to their address in California or new york. If the company contacts you, it usually talks about the situation by phone first. You can say that I just moved to this address and am looking for a job locally. Book an interview and fly directly.

This move is really troublesome. In theory, you can also buy multiple air tickets and fly back and forth. Unfortunately, if you go to a place where employment is not favorable, you have to accept this situation. If you want to complain, complain about why you can't apply to a school in a good area. Did you fail to get good grades because of fun, or did you fail to apply and go to your current school in a daze?

Of course, if you graduate, you can move to California, new york, Seattle and other places. You just took a small amount of ee from one acre to three points, went to the United States for a master's degree at your own expense, and found a cs job with an annual salary of 654.38+ million+. The protagonist of the story moved to California to look for a job. Warald has heard many similar examples. Besides, it doesn't mean that everything will be fine just by moving to some States. You still have to compete with the students in the local school. They still have an advantage.

9) Find the local company handling h 1b through myvisajobs.com.

Every foreign student will have the same sad experience when applying for a job: there are always some companies that will kick you out as soon as they hear that you need to apply for an h 1b work visa. The best way is to find out which companies are willing to recruit international students and provide them with H1B.

Companies such as Microsoft, Google and facebook naturally don't have to check, but many people can't get in; Myvisajobs.com has an application record of h 1b visa every year. Through the inquiry, you will know how many work visas were handled by which company in which year, and they will be your future employment and job search goals.

10) Check salary through glassdoor.

I felt great when I got the job invitation, and of course there were all kinds of problems such as salary negotiation. Sometimes, before you get an offer, you want to know about the salary, treatment, interview and company evaluation of the target company. Glassdoor.com is such a website, but some information on this website is out of date.
