Tell her to hit the internet. Monster.com, hotjobs, etc to find a job. Finding a job may not be the difficult part - finding an employer to sponsor her might be

Good luck

If your sister is looking for some basic accounting job, then she would be ok, but if she is looking for a accountant job – CPA then she cannot just practice in US.

She will need a CPA certification from US, degree from outside is not accepted – as every country has different rules and regulation in regards to accounting.

The problem is if she is only looking for the basic entry level job, then its difficult at this time of year with 100’s of ppl unemployed.

For any employer to hire her, they have to justify why they cannot hire an American and they have to hire her from out of US.

Hitting the internet for job searches is a good way to start but their are two realities to consider :

1. There are a lot of US Citizens and Legal Permanent Residents that are currently unemployed. It will be pretty difficult for a company to get an approval for H1B status for a non-citizen or LPR because they will be required by the DOL to show pretty darn good proofs why the applying alien is better to hire than the USC or LPR.

2. It is still pretty difficult to find a job here in the US for USCs and LPRs. Not many companies are hiring and in fact, I know of some that are still doing lay offs. Until the US economy gets better, the search for jobs here is pretty much a fight amongst the unemployed. Some have even taken pay cuts just to survive.

In the past, where there were about 20 - 50 applicants for one position, right now you're looking at roughly about 275 - 550 applicants (or more) for one position in a company. Most of them have masters degrees, more years and better work experience, etc etc.

While there is no harm in checking and applying online, you need to advise your sister of the realities if in case she wonders why she has not received any contacts from prospective companies yet.

Best of luck and wishing you and your sister all the best.
