Many people send messages asking how to succeed in their job search in the United States. First, it is essential to clarify that Embrace Cross-cultural Solutions is a cultural training company that does not provide immigration services. Thus, before anything else, it is necessary to look for a law firm that works with immigration to know the requirements for obtaining a work visa in the United States.

That said, we will give some crucial tips for those who are legally able to work in the United States.

Finding a job opening in the United States is a challenge for any foreigner, especially because many of the aspects valued by the employer may not have as much relevance in your home country, so it is necessary to understand the culture of the place to achieve the desired success when the goal is to find a job that meets your expectations.

So, here are some important tips for working in the United States...

First, learn the language of the country you are moving to. Good english fluency is fundamental to success in your search for a job in the United States. Besides the language, it is essential to know the culture of the place, especially when it comes to professional practices. To be more precise, if you, for example, are Brazilian and usually have problems with the clock, you will have difficulties in the United States, where respect for time is taken seriously.

Research job opportunities carefully, especially companies that need employees who speak languages other than english. You can look for a job on specialized sites: O'Net, Glassdoor, Monster, Indeed, LinkedIn, and so on. These sites are good sources of information.

Have good networking. Attend events, discussion groups, and other activities to meet people who can help you find a job opportunity.

Adapt your resume to meet the expectations of american employers. It is essential to include relevant information to the position you seek, highlighting your skills, work experience, and, most importantly, accomplishments.

Prepare a good Cover Letter. The Cover Letter is nothing more than an introduction to your resume. It works as a summary of your resume and why you want the job.

These small tips can help you a lot in your application process for a job in the United States. It is crucial to have patience and perseverance because this process is sometimes very tiring and can take time. Despite the challenge, the reward is worth it.
