FIVE TIPS: USA WORK VISA

‍

Getting hired in the US isn’t easy.

‍

And if you didn’t win the 2023 US visa lottery last month, 

you might be feeling pretty unlucky 🎲😿

‍

But hey, finding a job is all about shooting your shots.

‍

So this week we’re sharing:

‍

5 work visa tips to help you get hired in the USA 🇺🇸💼

‍

Let’s go! 

‍

1) Find H1B Visa Sponsors 🔍

Start with the obvious. 

Focus your job search on companies that sponsor H1B visas. We recommend using MyVisaJobs, E-Verify, and Novacredit.

‍

2) Be Invaluable 🥇

You need to bring serious value to a company if you want them to sponsor you. Identify fields where:

1. There’s a shortage of domestic talent, and
2. There’s a demand for your unique skill set

‍

Example Role: Machine learning engineer with experience in natural language processing.

‍

3) Find a Global Company With a US Branch 🕊️

Companies call it “International Internal Mobility.” 

‍

It means that if you get hired in your country, and the company has offices in the US, there’s a chance you could move to a US based office.

‍

Example Scenario: You work for Deloitte in Malaysia and notice a job opening in a US based Deloitte office. You apply through HR and they say you’re a perfect fit!

‍

4) Connect With International Professionals

Find them on LinkedIn with a university filter.

‍

Search for alumni from your university or universities in your country. Then set the location filter to “United States.”

‍

Now you can find people who received graduate degrees 

in the USA and bachelors degrees back home, like this:

‍

5) Build Your Network with WonsultingAI🤝

This is the best way to stand out from the crowd!

Now that you’ve identified professionals from step 4, 

ask them these questions:

‍

- Tell me more about your story of going from (hometown) to the states

- What struggles did you have with attaining your H1B visa, and how did you get it?

- Any advice for getting hired at your company?

‍

Then grow your network at scale with WonsultingAI 🤖

INDUSTRY INSIGHT

COUNTRY FOCUS: CHINA

‍

China's economy is declining.

The yuan has fallen to its lowest level in 16 years.

The biggest reasons are:

‍

🏗️ Major homebuilders and investment companies are missing payments to investors 

📉 Population crisis

🌐 Strained international relations 

‍

What does this mean for international job seekers?

‍

Demographic Trends

China’s aging population will have a long-term impact on sectors like healthcare, social services, and housing. 

‍

Helping with these industries could get you hired in China.

‍

Global Impact

China has ties with most major multinational companies. 

If your target company (or current company) is doing a lot of business with China, research how these trends can affect you.

‍

Employment

The crisis in China's real estate market and the investment industry could lead to job cuts in these sectors. If you're looking for a job in China, be mindful of the industry you're trying to get into.

‍

Companies to Look Into:

• Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC)
• China Construction Bank (CCB)
• Bank of China (BOC)
• Ping An Insurance (Group) Company of China
• Tencent Holdings

‍

China is full of opportunities and places to work, so don’t let their current economic situation discourage you!

‍

Grow your network and see how you can use your skills to help the second largest economy in the world.
