FINDING JOBS in AMERICA

[loving_gabriela 0]

Hi everyone! I got my EAD last month, and soon as I received it,I started sending resume online,filling out applications online. It's been a month now and there are no calls I receive for job interview at least.

How did you guys get a job? Any suggestions/tips would be greatly appreciated.

I am not picky, I just want a job. I've been trying sites like snagajob.com, i applied at DD online and it is so frustrating how they could say you are not qualified for the job only after answering few simple questions. I find it unfair for them to screen their applicants that way.

I am getting frustrated.

Times are tough right now here in the US. What type of job do you want? Try meeting others in your area and spend time talking with them.

Networking is your best bet now.

Let as many people as possible know you are looking and I am sure someone will have a friend of a friend who knows this guy....

Good Luck.

Thanks Phil! I worked as Psychology Professor in Philippines. I know it won't be easy to land in the same job here in the states that's why I do not mind getting whatever job is available. It is really a big adjustment for me. I am here in New Jersey.

Hard to land a job here nowadays.

Do you drive yet? I'm still learning so I'm stuck at home all the time.

I've not seen anything remotely interesting or good paying in the last month that I've been job hunting.

Go to your local CULINARY UNION and see if they have any apprenticeships going on, pay is great and you are protected by the union.

Try Craiglist, but be careful about some advertisements that are too good to be true. Try also Monsters.com. A lot of retails stores like Walmart are hiring workers for the holidays.

Feedback from my friend, finding a job is hard. You have to send out lots of resume and do follow-up.

What I did is formed my own company. I'm starting a photography business here in AZ. I'm building my clients now. Next month, I'm flying to Oregon to cover my friend's mom birthday celebration.

Try craiglist.org, mostly Filipina here in our place work at Cub or other groceries....

Do your have TOR? I am a public school teacher in the Phil and I am qualified to teach in College in our country with many national seminars and certificates, but since I am in America they have high standard since we have different curriculum. In my case they need a course-by-course credential evaluations in my TOR.

It depends upon the work and what they requires.

Good luck!!!

have you thought about fiding a job sideways ?

check out toastmasters.org - join a local guild, attend the meetings...

then when you start TALKING with people who are critiquing you, drop a strong hint about looking for work.

[Ban Hammer 12,901]

if you use any of the online search sites - make a yahoo id so if you start getting spammed you can just "throw away" the email.

be very careful answering any job interviews.

Yeah i brought all my credentials.I tried checking schools here in NJ, il be applying for substitute teacher certificate wherein my TOR will be evaluated since we have different grading systems in Phils and then hopefully il be able to work as substitute teacher. There was one school who did not ask for any teaching certifications, they simply asked if i have my masters.Good thing I have finished my masters. It will take time to get teaching job that's why I am tryin my luck in finding whatever jobs available.
