Hi guys, if you want to come to the US and work here,
you need to apply for a job.
But if you haven't done that before,
you may not know where to start and how to do it.
In this video,
I'll teach you the Job Application Process step by step
with some useful tips that you must remember in the process.
You'll need some job search engines.
They'll help you find the right jobs.
Personally,
I'd like to recommend these three search engines to start:
Indeed, ZipRecruiter
and LinkedIn.
You can sign up for free, customize your job search
with keywords, job title, location, et cetera,
and set up notifications to receive suggested jobs via email
or text or both.
But in order to sign up,
you'd better have your resume ready
because you must either upload it
or manually fill out the form.
I recommend you have your resume file
because in addition to these job search engines,
you'll need to upload it anyways
whenever you apply for jobs from now.
If you do not have it yet, watch this video
that'll teach you how to write a good resume.
When you get notifications,
select the one that looks good to you
and read the job description to see if you are a good fit
with the position.
If you find a job that you want to apply,
you can do it right from the site
or directly from the company website.
Once you click on 'apply' button
this is a typical process for most companies.
My information, my experience, application questions,
voluntary disclosures, self identify,
review, and submit.
As you see here, they ask you to upload your resume.
So before you begin this process, it is critical
that you take some time to do these three things,
assuming you have your resume already as I suggested.
First, read the job description very carefully.
Second, highlight the keywords you can find
from the company introduction, requirements
and qualifications.
And third, sprinkle them throughout your resume,
especially in the most recent work experience
and skill section.
If the job requires a skill, for example,
project management skill,
and if you have it,
but you did not list it in your resume yet,
make sure to put it in.
Now let's go over the process step by step.
One. My information
You can simply put in your basic information,
name, address, email address, phone number.
That's pretty much it. Two. Experience.
Work experience. You can start from the most recent one.
Job title, company name, location, role description.
In this role description section,
you can put in your job responsibilities
and achievements you have.
And of course you can add more work experience if you have.
Next is Education. You can put in simply the collage name,
degree, major. That's about it.
And skills. I would put in about 10 skills.
For example, communication comma, project management comma,
change management comma, et cetera.
And company websites.
If you have your own company website,
you can put it in here and URLs, social media URLs.
Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, et cetera.
Three. Application questions.
Let me read these questions for you.
"Are you legally authorized to work in the US?"
Simply answer, yes or no.
"Will you now or in the future require sponsorship
for employment visa status? For example, H-1B visa?"
If you need to know more about this H-1B visa,
checkout this video that'll help you understand
what it is and how to get it. Four. Voluntary disclosures.
You can select your gender.
Answer if you are Hispanic or Latino.
And your ethnicity, for me, I select Asian. And answer
if you are a protected veteran or not. Simple.
Five. Self identity
Simply select your language, English or your mother language
And answer, if you have a disability or not.
Six. Review. You can review all your answers
and edit if needed.
Seven. Submit.
Once you submit it, you will get the confirmation email.
This is it for today.
