How to find H1B Visa Job
hey folks how's it going this is uncle Jerry coming at you from Detroit Michigan very excited to be here today and talking to you I'm gonna share my experience today and some of the tips if you have been laid off and you're looking for unfortunately right now how do you really approach the job market and even if the times are tough you can't find a job so first of all I would like to share a quick experience about how I was laid off in 2018 and what I had to go through to find a job so just like you if you're going through a job loss right now I'm really sorry to hear that but let me be honest it is going to happen like it fears if it hasn't happened to you yet just wait because as an immigrant you have to get used to these kind of challenges and it will happen to you so in my case I lost my job on ma in March mid-march and then I had only 60 days to find a new opportunity so I really had to plan every single aspect of my job application to get a job so the way I did that is I'm gonna give you four tips on how to get a job within 60 days so if you are a good candidate I would say that 60 days should be enough for you to really find opportunity but you have to be very persistent and consistent with your application but the first thing I would like to tell you is update your resume that's the number one thing I tell people from my experience which most of us are hesitant to do if we go through a job loss because for me personally updating a resume and doing this all over again it just felt like a chore and then never got interested into doing that but that's the biggest mistake some of us do because first of all the reason you wanna update your resume is you have actually worked at another you've been this experience and you want to use that for your advantage second thing I always do is support the first question is when you're updating your resume I would suggest just keep the position you are working at as still working you know you don't want to say that you have been laid off yet you can answer that question in the interview but I would suggest from my experience it's easier to find a job if people know you have a job because sometimes we might come as desperate or really needy in in an opportunity if part of an opportunity so use your judgment there don't listen to me everything I say but use your judgment and thought process behind it second tip I would like to say is how do you find these companies which are related to your field for example I worked in civil engineering and I had only known maybe 15 to 20 companies in Detroit area which were civil engineering but there were hundreds of other companies which I did not know about so the way I did it is first of all I looked at my LinkedIn account and I looked at all the people who have worked in the industry in my local area so for example let's say let's take a John like an John worked at let's say different for different companies and he's working at an X company right now so what I'll do is I'll go through all these four companies here's work back and I'll write them down on a piece of paper and I'll make a note of them then I also find out which of these companies was John really got his h-1b now if you know John personally you can ask him but if not you also want to do your own research you can find it out where this company sponsors h-1b people or not so I wouldn't waste my time really applying to companies which do not sponsor immigrants because if your goal is to get sponsorship and a job then that's something you all need to look into so I always look for companies that are already sponsored people because I don't want to keep changing jobs I want to go at the right place at the right time that's something I would do so look at your LinkedIn profile and find out the companies which other people have worked at that's the best way to find local companies now the tip third tip I would like to give you is this is actually my secret tip and I really had to figure out my own situation and practice a lot in applications to really develop this so first thing you need to do is whenever you apply for a company for example let's say you applied for Zook on calm you know and then what you do is you go to that website and you find out where there is an email or a location where you can send in a Curie or question if you have an inquiry so what I do at certain places like that is I will always send another copy of my resume through that so most times what happens is if the HR is not able to get to that resume through your application they will always end up getting this email and they will always have your resume in their system so that's the best way I do it then another the last tip I would like to give you this is a bonus tip you can see is these algorithms sometimes keep you from getting to your position getting to your interview because this big companies have algorithms playing what I would do is just copy the job description in your resume make it font can and change the color to white this way it's it's in there but you can't see it if you print it so what happens this way is the algorithms actually see that you have same job description criteria in your resume and you get your abortion in that way so this is all I had for you today but if you like what I said give me a thumbs up and if you don't like what I said leave me a comment and tell me what you did not like because I would like to improve maybe I would like to know your experience also but thank you for listening today and I'll see you next time bye
