Moving from Russia to the United States is a serious step: a new life, a new environment, a new job. The latter should be given special attention and consideration should be given to who a Russian should work in America.
How to find a job in the USA for a visitor from Russia
There is an opinion that it is impossible to find a job in the States without a green card. However, this is not true, and it is possible to take a vacant seat even without it.
Every state has a newspaper edition in Russian and its analogue on the Internet. For example, in New York it is called "Russian Bazaar", in Boston - "Russian Boston" and so on. Only Russian-speaking employers in the USA are looking for workers there. Climbing the career ladder should start from there. In addition, they are unlikely to ask unnecessary questions when employing fellow countrymen.
It will not be superfluous to post an ad on a job search site. In America, they are watched more often and more attentively, so they will definitely call. Also, don't forget about your resume. It's much easier with him in the States. The presence of a document on competence and other positive qualities will allow you to choose from several proposals.
Who to work for a Russian in the USA
Work for newcomers in America is conventionally divided into 3 categories, depending on the level of wages. Of course, not all vacancies are listed, but the most popular ones:
- Low salary - $ 1000-2500 per month. By American standards, this is a beggarly salary. Most often, auto mechanics and builders get that much. As for the girls, those who do manicure and hair extensions can count on such wages.
- Average salary is $ 2500-4500 per month. Employees of restaurants and similar establishments fall into this category: bartenders, waiters, cooks. In addition, thanks to the American mentality, service personnel can receive a good "bonus" in the form of a tip.
- High salary - from $ 5,000 per month. Here the choice is richer: dentists, designers, web developers. Such a large amount requires relevant knowledge and skills. As for programmers, a lot of Russians work in companies such as Facebook or Google.
These are only rough estimates. In any case, a good specialist in America will receive a decent salary. In this country, you can reach heights in any profession. Even auto mechanics, who are not particularly respected in Russia, are deeply valued on the American continent.
