Highly qualified individuals, who wish to find a job in the USA, have more chances if they are specialized in a sector that is in great demand such as the service sector (education, medicine, computing, engineering and research).
However, the increasing globalization led many companies to relocate not only their installations of production but also all their departments of computing or engineering towards countries in Asia and South America, because they have low income their. Therefore, people specialized in computing have to face a competition more bitter than in the past during the golden time of the new economy. The only thing to do is to remain attentive and to apply constantly in various jobs and, with a little luck, you will find the job of your dreams.
If you enter the USA on a tourist visa, you are not authorized to look for a job if you entered in the USA with a tourist visa, so, it's advised that you try to search for a job from your home. Consult the job websites and use your contacts to send unsolicited applications. Also, you may need to travel to the USA if you are invited in a job interview.
Your application for a job in the USA should be:
1- Clear and concise.
2- You have to present the elements of your inverse in a chronological ordered CV, so that it begins with your last employment.
3- Be politically correct and mention no religious belief and no ethnic origin.
4- It is not either the custom to attach a photo.
5- You have to mention your qualifications and your work experience, but also provide references as the American employers always expect to find them in an application letter.
Make sure that the people, whom you refer to are informed about your initiative and that they agree to support you, because a potential employer could call them and ask them about your qualifications. Furthermore, he can be sensible to send any documents, which underline your character and your personality, such as a portfolio of your realizations, your charity works, etc.
Although the social interactions in the USA seem rather informal compared with the European practices, be discreet and try to avoid raising sensitive subjects during relaxed conversations. The dress code is usually very formal,and men and women have to appeare in a suit.
