• 移民到美国后，好找工作吗？答案因人而异。

    首先在美国找第一份工作肯定不容易，但是一旦有了第一份，积累了工作经验，下面再找工作就会容易找一些。

    我在刚移民美国的时候，在纽约、华尔街其实有不少朋友、亲戚，他们当时有说要帮忙介绍工作给我，出于自尊心，我当时就说不用，我要自己找工作。

    一开始也是从基础的Analyst开始做起，靠着正确写简历、面试、找工作的正确方法，到现在金融分析师，工资收入翻了3倍。所以我对于美国找工作的大环境、流程还是比较清楚的，今天就把我的经验分享给大家，供大家参考。

    Is it easy to find a job after immigrating to the United States? The answer varies from person to person.

    Finding your first job in the US is definitely not easy, but once you have your first job and gain work experience, it will be easier to find subsequent jobs.

    When I first immigrated to the US, I had many friends and relatives in New York and Wall Street. They offered to help me find jobs, but out of pride, I said no, I wanted to find jobs myself.

    I started as a basic analyst, and by using the right methods for writing resumes, interviewing, and job hunting, I've now become a financial analyst, and my salary has tripled. Therefore, I have a relatively clear understanding of the job market and processes in the US, and today I'll share my experience with you for your reference.

    新移民到美国找工作的方法

    在美国找工作有很多渠道，首先第一个就是Networking，也就是内推的方式，这个在美国各大公司中是非常盛行的，因为对公司来说，这是一个高效并且节约成本的招聘手段。所以公司非常鼓励员工做内部推荐，并且推荐成功的推荐人可以获得奖励，叫做referral bonus，推荐奖金。

    所以在美国如果你有足够的人脉，你确实会有丰富的资源。但是内推后是否会被成功聘用，还是要看个人技能的。不过有些公司是不允许内推亲属的，他们不想股东或者是管理层都是亲属关系。

    第二个，在美国找工作也是可以投递网申的，http://linkedin.cn等招聘网站都可以。但是这个的效果有限，因为你常常会发现，投递了几百份但是回复寥寥无几，这也是正常现象。想要提高这种成功率呢，就要仔细的研究公司，根据每家公司的岗位招聘需求，去准备有针对性的cover letter，不断的修改简历。

    我刚开始找工作的时候，也是在网上挂简历，当时就是海投，一个简历投给非常多的公司，一个月左右可能就投了有上百家，感觉这样通过的几率会更大。实际上并不是，都没了音信。

    关于准备简历这里再多说一点，不同于中国，美国的简历不需要列出个人的全部基本信息，你的照片、宗教信仰、婚姻情况、甚至是你的实际年龄只要你觉得是个人隐私，都可以不展示在简历上。

    第三个，美国也有很多找工作的中介或者猎头公司，你可以去找他们注册、面试，之后你跟他们说你要找什么样的职位，要求年薪多少，什么相关待遇，他们就会帮你找工作。

    你需要中介、猎头公司的服务，他们同时也会得到你一定比例的工资。一般中介费是你第一个月的工资，但是这个钱有时候是雇主出，也就是自己不出一分钱，这是一个非常好的渠道。

    Methods for New Immigrants to Find Jobs in the US

    There are many channels for finding jobs in the US. The first is networking, or internal referrals. This is very popular in major US companies because it's an efficient and cost-effective recruitment method. Therefore, companies strongly encourage employees to make internal referrals, and successful referrers receive a referral bonus.

    So, in the US, if you have a good network, you will indeed have abundant resources. However, whether you will be successfully hired after a referral depends on your individual skills. Some companies, however, do not allow referrals to relatives, as they don't want shareholders or management to be related.

    Secondly, you can also apply for jobs online in the US through recruitment websites like LinkedIn. However, the effectiveness is limited. You'll often find that you submit hundreds of applications but receive very few responses, which is normal. To increase your success rate, you need to carefully research companies, prepare targeted cover letters based on each company's job requirements, and continuously revise your resume.

    When I first started looking for a job, I also posted my resume online, mass-applying to numerous companies. I probably sent out hundreds of resumes in about a month, thinking it would increase my chances of getting hired. But that wasn't the case; I never heard back.

    Regarding resume preparation, let me elaborate a bit more. Unlike in China, resumes in the US don't need to list all your basic information. Your photo, religious beliefs, marital status, and even your actual age—if you consider it private, you can omit them from your resume.

    Thirdly, there are many job agencies or headhunting firms in the US. You can register with them, interview with them, and then tell them what kind of position you're looking for, your desired annual salary, and related benefits. They will then help you find a job.

    While you need the services of these agencies, they also receive a percentage of your salary. The agency fee is usually your first month's salary, but sometimes the employer pays this fee, meaning you don't pay anything yourself. This is a very good channel.

    新移民在美国找工作确实会有难度，但是其实不用担心会有种族歧视。首先就是你的简历上通常不会展示你的种族、肤色，公司在面试前也不会知道你的这些情况，所以不可能因为这个原因不给你面试的机会。

    其次美国的上市公司，或者是公司想要上市必须要有足够的亚洲人、西班牙人等等。公司雇员必须有足够的多元化种族，女性比例达到一定的标准才行。为了达到比例，有些公司甚至会雇佣一些其实不合格的员工。

    虽然在美国找工作的过程是很累的，但是一旦入职就会很爽，首先就是工资高（相比国内和加拿大），其次工作轻松，不用996，而且事少，没有那些所谓的办公室政治。

    美国的工作时间比较人性化，你可以选择早来早走或者晚来晚走，工作只要在规定时间干完就行了。一般不会有公司提倡加班，因为加班费很贵，所以在这边工作时间和个人生活的界限划分的很清楚。

    当然，这边也不是完全没有加班情况，遇到着急的项目，公司可能也会要求你加班，但是加班费、相应的补助不会少。

    节假日的话，10个法定节假日大家应该都有了解过，时间较长的就是新年，会从圣诞节的前一周一直放到元旦后的周一。企业年假的话，大多数公司入职后就有15天年假。

    Finding a job in the US can indeed be challenging for new immigrants, but there's really no need to worry about racial discrimination. Firstly, your resume usually won't show your race or skin color, and companies won't know this before the interview, so it's unlikely they'll deny you an interview for that reason.

    Secondly, publicly traded companies in the US, or companies aspiring to go public, must have a sufficient number of Asian, Hispanic, etc., employees. The company's workforce must be racially diverse, with a certain percentage of women. To meet this requirement, some companies may even hire unqualified employees.

    While the job search process in the US is tiring, once you're employed, it's great. Firstly, the salary is high (compared to China and Canada). Secondly, the work is easy, no 996 work schedule, and less stressful, with less office politics.

    Working hours in the US are relatively flexible; you can choose to arrive early or leave late, as long as the work is completed within the designated time. Overtime is generally discouraged because overtime pay is expensive, so the boundaries between work hours and personal life are clearly defined.

    Of course, overtime isn't entirely absent here. For urgent projects, the company might require you to work overtime, but overtime pay and corresponding subsidies will be provided.

    Regarding holidays, most people are familiar with the 10 statutory holidays. The longest is the Lunar New Year, which runs from the week before Christmas until the Monday after New Year's Day. As for company annual leave, most companies offer 15 days of annual leave upon joining.

    关于美国各个行业薪资待遇的问题，之前也跟大家简单分享过，专业性和技能肯定是影响在美国找工作的关键。你想找到高薪的工作，前提就是你拥有杰出的技能。因为这决定了你能给公司带来多少价值，其次你的学历啊，其他各方面的条件啊也会决定你能否有机会拿到高薪工作。

    码农、IT行业、医护、金融相关职业在美国相对找工作更容易，工资高一些，待遇也不错。

    如果你是美国挣钱美国花，在美国一个月5千美元你可以应付开销，更高的薪资就能拥有小资生活了，当然也要看个人需求，这只是我个人感受。

    调薪的话，一般美国公司平均一年会给你评估一次，之后提高工资一般在百分之三四左右，主要还是看你个人能力。能力高可以主动和公司提涨薪。

    最后要说这边找工作和国内最大的不同，我觉得还是“包容性”，这边无论是对大龄求职者，还是对女性、宝妈都没有歧视，他们注重的是“实用价值”，更看重工作经验。

    所以在这找工作，如果可以合理全面的解决问题，是完全自由的。你35岁之后不会面临失业危机，40多岁也能进修其他专业或者转行，60+70+也能继续工作，个人发展不会有过多的限制。

    新移民美国找工作首先要做的就是克服困难，对于个人事业的规划，建议大家先做好以下几个方面：

    1. 学好英语

    美国是说英语的国家，很多企业对于求职者的语言能力都有一定的要求，除非是一些专业技能要求较高的岗位，你技术够硬，对你语言方面的要求可能会相对降低。或者是一些低端的劳力工作，对语言方面不会有要求，比如去中餐馆打工，其他大部分的工作都会对英语条件有要求。所以新移民到美国，还是尽量学好英语，这样才拥有更多的求职机会。

    2. 充分利用政府提供的资源

    在这边有专门的机构会免费帮居民找工作，你需要去登记自己的技能、专长等等。另外政府还会提供免费英语课、免费职业辅导机构、补贴助学津贴等等，让新移民能够更快地融入当地的劳动力市场。

    3. 建立人脉资源

    最后，移民意味着你要到一个新的国家重新构建你的新生活，所以无论是找工作，还是其他方面都一定不简单。大家要调整好心态，积极乐观的去面对。可以寻找对自己未来生活有帮助的各种圈子，在认识新朋友的过程当中，去接收更多对自己移民生活有利的建议。

    Regarding salary and benefits across various industries in the US, I've shared some insights before. Professionalism and skills are undoubtedly key factors in finding a job in the US. To find a high-paying job, you must possess outstanding skills. This determines how much value you bring to the company. Secondly, your education and other qualifications also influence your chances of getting a high-paying job.

    Professions related to programming, IT, healthcare, and finance are relatively easier to find jobs in the US, with higher salaries and better benefits.

    If you're earning money and spending it in the US, $5,000 a month can cover your expenses. A higher salary allows for a comfortable lifestyle, but this depends on individual needs; this is just my personal experience.

    As for salary adjustments, US companies typically conduct a performance review once a year, with increases generally around 3-4%, mainly depending on your individual abilities. Highly capable individuals can proactively request a raise.

    Finally, the biggest difference between job hunting here and in China, in my opinion, is "inclusivity." There is no discrimination against older job seekers, women, or stay-at-home mothers. They value "practical value" and place great importance on work experience.

    Therefore, finding a job here is completely free if you can solve problems reasonably and comprehensively. You won't face unemployment after 35, you can pursue other majors or change careers in your 40s, and you can continue working in your 60s and 70s. There won't be too many restrictions on your personal development.

    The first thing new immigrants to the US need to do when looking for a job is overcome difficulties. Regarding career planning, it's recommended to focus on the following aspects:

    1. Learn English well

    The US is an English-speaking country, and many companies have certain language requirements for job seekers. Unless it's a highly specialized position where your technical skills are strong enough, the language requirement might be relatively lower. Or, for some low-end manual labor jobs, there might not be language requirements, such as working in a Chinese restaurant. Most other jobs will require English proficiency. Therefore, new immigrants to the US should try their best to learn English well to have more job opportunities.

    2. Make full use of government resources

    There are specialized agencies here that help residents find jobs for free. You need to register your skills, expertise, etc. In addition, the government provides free English classes, free career counseling, and subsidies to help new immigrants integrate into the local labor market more quickly.

    3. Building a Network

    Finally, immigration means rebuilding your life in a new country, so finding a job and other aspects will certainly not be easy. It's important to adjust your mindset and face it with optimism. You can seek out various circles that will be helpful to your future life, and receive more advice beneficial to your immigrant life while meeting new friends.
