Finding Work in the US

[mdkrahn]

Just wondering if anyone has good sources for finding work in the United States (online job banks, magazines, etc) primarily, San Francisco, but other places as well.

Details:
me and my friend will be graduating soon from University and hate the city we currently live in.
We intend on heading South of the border and for a nicer environment.

-22 year old New Grad
-Mechanical Engineering
-or Business Degree


Looking to get out of Canada!

I'm kinda stuck on where to look.
Workopolis doesn't seem to have a lot of jobs located in the United States, and all the jobs they post on my campus are for Canada.



Thanks!

monster.com is a good way to find what staffing agencies are in the area you want to move to.

You can't get a job unless you have a Visa or Work Permit or Green card, and I've heard there's a 3 year waiting list unless you're in a special category. I assume you've looked all this up?

You just can't come to USA and get a job ya know, that's called "illegal immigration"

If he finds an empolyer in the US in need of his services, and are unable to find any american or person with a work permit qualified to fill that position wouldnt that speed up things?

[MissT74]

Only if the employer is willing to go through a more detailed process in order to get the employee into the USA. Most employers can't be bothered, and they have to have a legitimate reason that gets investigated.

For example, I own a business and tried to help a Canadian (Fellknight) get a Visa, but was unable to as I didn't need a position filled that I can't find workers for in the USA.

The "special" categories I was referring to are like the following, a person who's received a Noble Peace Prize or a person who has a Master's Degree in a specific field and has published writings in his/her field, etc etc.

Things like that.

Not sure how serious you were, but as a Canadian working in the States I hear this from time-to-time. Its a pretty good clue of someone being retarded.

jj,

i mostly was angry at the crappy thread, not so much with the canadian immigrant thing. if the dollar continues to die of AIDS, i would probably want to come to your country too.

You're living in a world class city where the losers at Tim Horton's make $16/hr and you want to move?

Who moves FROM Calgary?

Weird.
