The following contents are answered by the immigration consultant of Shanghai Entry-Exit Service Center:

How difficult is it for international students to find a job in America? I believe that every little friend who has experienced it has an unknown history of blood and tears. In addition to dealing with the rigorous ability and education of American companies, it is difficult for us to get ahead in the competition with native Americans because of our unstable status and poor English.

In fact, there are some unknown "hidden rules" in finding a job in the United States. Headhunters will only screen according to this standard, but they won't tell us these secrets! After consulting a number of headhunting companies in the United States, money.usnews.com summarized the following six points. Let's take a look! Six cruel realities of finding a job in America

1. When looking for a job, the necessary skills and suitable work experience required by the post are very important.

Although cruel, it is a reality: employers like to recruit experienced employees very much. In the vernacular, you can get started directly without any training. Of course, this does not mean that your career has stopped. You should try to show in your work that I am not only proficient in this field, but also an expert in this field, and most bosses will start to look at you with new eyes!

2. But ... even if you have the necessary skills and suitable work experience, it doesn't mean that you will get this offer.

Why is this? Employers will mention the elusive "fit". This is vague and may include some factors such as personality, temper, attitude and career progress.

The first interview is likely to be asked about salary requirements, please be prepared!

Some friends may think that if the numbers are not so clear, the chances of winning the prize will be greater; Money.usnews.com's advice is: Tell the current salary honestly, and make it clear that the salary in this new job will be different, and then quickly and subtly turn to how much value you can provide to the company, instead of letting the interviewer think that hiring you will cost him.

Employers are most interested in your achievements and how you achieved them. Not what you're doing now.

Candidates who compete for the same position with you will all have more or less similar job contents, so it is meaningless for you to repeat them. Be sure to talk about your achievements so far in the dialogue.

The interviewer is not interested in your work experience 10 years ago.

There's a saying in China that "a brave man doesn't mention his bravery", so you must put more effort into your resume to write about your recent work experience. But for the sake of honesty, you can add this sentence to your resume to mention your previous work: "Details of previous experience can be provided upon request".

6. No matter how unreasonable the former company is, never show a trace of complaint in front of the interviewer.

Even for Americans, finding a job is a very headache. Everyone will be rejected countless times, so we must adjust our mentality and be prepared for a protracted war. Even if you get an interview, don't belittle your previous company to please you: no company will like to recruit such people, no matter how excellent your ability is.

In the interview, the interviewer not only looks at your work ability, but also includes personality, mentality, reaction ability and so on. The above six points list some tips for interviewing in the United States. If you understand and use them well, it will certainly be of great help to the interview. I hope all your friends can succeed in the interview and find their favorite jobs in America, a place full of opportunities and challenges.
