Work in USA

Free Guide
Looking for a job IS A JOB!

The American Dream is possible.

Would you like to work in USA? Would you like to be able to have that
long-awaited job that allows you to raise your family, and help your
parents and your children? Would you like to be able to buy the house
of your dreams and develop professionally?

The "American Dream" doesn’t have to be impossible.

There are several ways to work in the United States. I'm sure you've
heard about work visas or Green Cards.

There are different types of visas and Green Cards: for people with or
without an academic degree or experience, for people with exceptional
abilities, for artists, athletes, and many more.

Bu they have one thing in common, which is the main reason why
they are often difficult to obtain: they require an offer f rom a U.S.
employer.

Why? Because it is the employer who petitions the visa or Green Card
for you. They don't work like tourist visas where you simply apply at the
consulate.

And that's because:

THE FIRST STEP IS TO GET AN OFFER FROM


A U.S. EMPLOYER.
It is simple: without this offer we can't move forward. In my years of
experience, it always struck me that no one talked about this problem;
Work visas or Green Cards are simply offered, but no one is trying to
solve this barrier.

And I know what you may be thinking: "But they won't offer me the
job." This does NOT have to be the case. It's an excellent time to do so
because more than 10 million vacancies are available!

That's why I prepared this Free Guide so that you can get familiar with
the tools that can help you in the process and maximize your chances
of achieving your "American Dream."

Here, we have prepared a guide with data and an action plan to get
a job in the US, useful tips for your resume, and links to the main
platforms to look for a job at the moment.

In addition, I added a bonus with the most common employment visas


for those looking for work from outside the United States.
There are some universal principles when looking for a job that
applies to any country, but even more so in the United States:

THE CURRICULUM OR RESUME

It is our letter of introduction to the employer, perhaps the fundamental


tool to get a job.

The resume should be concise. Employers receive thousands of job requests


and don't have the time to analyze each one in depth. For this reason, we
must have a resume with a maximum of two pages in length, which con-
tains our most important professional and academic information.

In addition, it is a good idea to adapt our resume to the type of job we are
looking for and the needs of the company.

It is essential that it does not have any spelling or grammatical errors.


Any small detail can hurt us in comparison to other applicants.
ONLINE TOOLS

In addition to the classic job placement agencies and the personal or profes-
sional contacts that a person may have, nowadays, there are various online
tools to look for a job and we must take advantage of them.

At the moment, these are the most popular:

6 A professionally prepared resume increases your chances of getting a job


by 7% (topresume).
WORK VISAS
For those looking for work from outside the United States, it is key to be clear about
what type of work visa will be needed.

Remember: for a visa or an Employment-Based Green Card, the FIRST STEP is the
JOB OFFER, because they are the ones who petition for the visa or Green Card.

If you do not have an immigration status or work permit in the United States, a funda-
mental part of planning is knowing what visas are available in the legal immigration
system.

U.S. work visas can be divided into nonimmigrant visas and immigrant visas. The last
one gives access to a Green Card, the permanent residency of the United States.
