Finding work/career

[MARK77 0]

Hi all I will be relocating to south Florida and was looking for some guidance towards finding work or good websites to help with the process. I haven't got great qualifications but have some experience and knowledge in the construction and gas fields. Any help would be great!

Hi Mark, didn't we talk about this before? I have some memory of construction and gas and Florida.

Hey,

I don't have specific advice, but I did want to say more generally that because you're a K1, you're going to have 3 months or so where you're not going to be able to work (until you get your EAD - I assume you're aware of this), so I'd use that time to go meet people who work in your field of expertise, get chatting to them, find out where and how they found their jobs. It's much easier to find work once you're actually in-situ and can talk face to face with people, and making some friends in the right bit is a good door-opener.

Craigslist is good.

You could also sign on with some temp agencies for local work experience and a quick job.

Personally I used career builder, it's a very useful resume searching website. The process was remarkably fast for me: I was inundated with interview requests after the first week or so!

Good luck!
