noble21: I showed interest in this specific topic because I was in this same scenario around March this year and moved mid-July to the US with experience in manufacturing space and I'm willing to help with some pointers and share my journey & outlook. I had some success based on the steps I followed and willing to share. This is a major discussion point that requires more than just typing and probably a detailed discussion. I will share some nuggets below and will recommend we set-up a ZOOM or TEAMS call to elaborate and provide some basic guides (based on my humble, current and limited knowledge which you can further build on). I'm happy to share more with you 1. You need to understand what roles you are considering when you get to the US and check some associated LinkedIn profiles to evaluate what skills and certification those individuals have (you can try and find Nigerian & African with such profile which can help further) 2. Quickly start closing the gaps on the certifications if any ASAP with the right focus and speed. 3. You need to redesign your resume to match the American format and also develop a cover letter along side. This is a key step as American resume is different. 4. I definitely suggest you start looking for suited jobs by setting up your Linked profile with location to the US and start getting job alerts which gives you idea of what is available and what matches your need. 5. I started applying before landing though I have to use a "pseudo" US phone number & address on my resume. These details are mandatory on your resume and cover letter. I actually got 3 from recruiters but cannot proceed as I'm not available yet. 6. I was also running my resume through ATS (in parallel) to further optimize and correct the resume as I progress. 7. I would recommend that you set-up on other job site aside LinkedIn, consider Indeed, Glassdoor, etc 8. There are also visibility improvement which you need to start demonstrating on LinkedIn starting from NOW. 9. Based on the multiple roles consideration (from step 1), you might try to have diverse resumes which might vary based on different job required. 10. Do a job market evaluation to identify the top companies & employers that fits your plans and start following and focusing on them. But don't limit on them only. There is so much to share and the reason I suggest a discussion as a better option. Other few considerations Do you have an international educational or work experience as reflected on your resume? Have you concluded on your location within the US? I would also suggest you need to demonstrate flexibility of location to help expand your search and chances. There might be a need to get a proven/recommended person to evaluate all the above steps and give the resume & cover letter a professional touch. This is optional though. Overall I'm not an HR person, neither do I have recruiting experience but just sharing from my last 6-9 months of navigating experience. 2 Likes |
