hey! I know it's hard to find a job here, especially when you were raised in different country.... my thoughts to you would be open your eyes and see other fields and other options!!!! your bachelors degree means absolutely nothing without experience in USA... that is brutal THRUTH! Go out! meet friends, see whats out there!
I've been married for almost two years now... when I got here I knew my bachelors degree was going to be no good... I knew I had to start from scratch... at the same time I didnt have money to go school... so I just started applying for restaurant jobs. I worked as a hostess, busser and finally I got a servering position. I started educating myself about fine wines and foods. And now I'm one of the yougest servers in a fine dining restaurant in CA (I'm 24)! And I make more money then my hubby does...
In USA it's all about how good you can "sell yourself".... If youre confident, know what you're talking about, enthusiastic, you'll get the job! There are so many companies and so many employers! if you screw up on one interview who cares!!!! move on! go again again! dont give up!!!
You said something that you're a new driver.... I understand you on that!!! Believe me I was shaking like a leave first time driving on a freeway by myself!!! my thoughts to you, get a cheap car (automatic), get a good insurance, take back ways to places (meaning dont take freeways first times), before you drive find out the correct address, google map it, memorise the streets you are going to take lleft and right turns and you'll be good! believe me i went through this.... If you have any questions please let me know... hope this was usefull...
Very tired , no job yet!
