Best Way to start

Hello everyone!

Well i moved here three months ago, and now my work at home job is coming to an end.

My experience is in sales and hospitality, my english could be better but i believe that it is not a barrier, and i have a master degree in business.

I do not have experience in the USA, so i wanted to know what do you think it would be a good way to start. I was planning to apply for assistant or sales. Starting from the bottom and take my chances to grow in the company.

The problem is i don´t know where to start. I have been applying to hospitality jobs (most of them sales)but it´s hard to find something that suits me (because my experience is in event planning and catering management). I need help.

What would you recommend in my case?

I would look into finding something in your field - event planning and catering. Prior experience goes a long way. I might branch out into related jobs, like something with a hotel or country club or something, but try to be as close as possible to your actual experience. Make sure your resume is formatted to US standards.

Hotels always need evening/ night staff if you are willing to do that. Once you show you are capable of being on time and organised, and learn the hotel's ins-and-outs, you could probably get a sales or event position and move up within the hotel.

I think it is really important that you don't sell yourself short. If you have a Masters in Business then look for jobs that will maximise your skill set otherwise all the hard work you put in to get that Masters will go to waste.
