My wife joined  a local Thai group on Facebook.  In her talking to and meeting with a few Thai's in the area, one of them gave her a job lead, which led to her first job in the USA.

I was about to say the absolute opposite 😂 only mom and pop stores do face to face anymore. Usually even the managers will point you to the companies homepage to apply.

Thanks everyone for advices I have found a job and have been working for a month now! The key is to look for and not to be afraid of physical work, not to be lazy! God bless all!🙏🙌

Also look into your rights, what at-will employment is (a lot of places are) and what is illegal for an employer to ask in an interview!

How did you find the job?

Did you go through Indeed or another job search engine or did you apply direct to companies?

Would be interested to know for my future job search ^^

I went to indeed first, then the place next to my house they have their own website where you need to upload your CV and then they called me and invited to the interview which was successful. Though I work not right there in another store but still first what I did I wrote CV included all experience even not related to applied vacancy. Second I went to all places next to my house because I can't drive. And then I found this place. Indeed is a very good place to search too. I went to some places from that site too. The thing is just keep trying and intend to work physically first because good places when first in the country not easy to find if only you have not got a rare profession. Good luck!
