This can't hurt and can only help. If you're concentrating on online listings only, then you're competing against the whole world. Suggestion #1: Find employers who hire people like you. Study the company. Learn who the hiring manager is (if necessary, call the receptionist to learn the name). Visit the office, dressed in suit & tie, with your resumé and a knockout cover-letter. The cover-letter should be addressed to the hiring manager (spell the name correctly). Find the hiring manager's secretary or administrative assistant. Say, "I understand that Mr. ____ is always looking for good people. Will you please give this to him?" Thank the secretary sincerely, with a smile. Take the manager's business card. Two or three days later, call the manager directly. Say, "I'm [name], and I dropped off my resumé with [secretary's name]. Were you able to look it over?" If yes, and no positions equaling your qualifications are open, ask his impression of your credentials. (Many U.S. companies hesitate to hire foreign graduates because of uncertainty about credentials.) Ask if you can start in a lower position, even entry-level, to show him what you can do. If nothing is available, thank him sincerely and ask him for other companies to approach. Regardless of the answer, thank him again, and thank him in advance for keeping you in mind. Suggestion #2: Each city has a Chamber of Commerce. Find it. Once you find it, talk with the secretary. Tell her that you want a schedule of events, and let her know that you'd like to attend. Then, go in person to the Chamber of Commerce Office. Talk with the President of the Chamber, telling him/her that you want to volunteer at several of their events. Attendees at Chamber events are business-owners and salespeople, all looking for new business. It usually is an informal-enough gathering where you can approach people and talk with them. Now, the good thing about being a volunteer there is that you will be talking to everyone at least once -- you might be at the reception table, you might be at the greeters' table, you might help to run the audio/video system - whatever - but the point is that you can meet everyone there, face to face. Attend 2 or 3 of these, and folk remember you. When folk remember you, they will remember that you are seeking employment and will consider you, because you're just not some name on a piece of paper -- they met you at a Chamber event and know that you were volunteering, helping out the Chamber. If you live in a really small town, go to the biggest town that's within 15 miles of your house. When you better understand little everyday things, the big things will be less of a shock. Have your spouse or an American acquaintance walk around the block with you. You can ask anything at all -- why do the street lights come on at night, how do you report necessary repairs to driveways and sidewalks, how does the Homeowners' Association operate, who represents you in local government, or anything that comes to mind. Repeat this process every week or few days to give your brain time to process what you've learned. Your spouse or a neighbor can take you to a supermarket. Pick one aisle of products, walk slowly, and ask questions about brands, pricing, and "what exactly is this?" Repeat this process whenever possible. An excellent video (for native U.S. people, too) is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqMjMPlXzdA Another good resource is: http://www.aclu.org/files/kyr/kyr_english.pdf The Web is your friend. Find your city's website or the "convention & visitors bureau" website. The first should have "For New Residents," and the second should have many links. You can also perform general searches, such as "bicycling in [name of city]." Let us know here how these suggestions sound to you and work for you.
