🇺🇸 5 tips Australians need to know about U.S. Holidays & interviewing
When interviewing in the U.S. a small amount of cultural appreciation and awareness goes a long way in building relationships with future employers.
Here’s our virtual event recording and infographic with quick tips, to help you quickly americanize your resume and land your next job!
When I first started Aussie Recruit, I received hundreds of Australian style CVs (including from Australians already living and working in the US) and noticed common trends emerging. In the US we use resumes, not CVs. In fact, if you say CV, most likely a recruiter or hiring manger will not know what you’re talking about. So I decided to host my first virtual event in early 2019, on revamping your resume to appeal to the US market.
Most U.S. based companies and recruiters don’t know about the special E-3 visa for Australians. As a result, talented Australians are far too often rejected from job opportunities as they are placed in a “need sponsorship” category.
Tell recruiters the E-3 visa is similar to the TN, and get them out of the H-1B headspace. Hopefully you’ll start to get more traction with interviews.
You might have heard of the prevailing wage.
The prevailing wage tool is a free online salary tool. This tool helps Australians understand their US market value.
