STAND OUT, GET HIRED: YOUR USA OR UK JOB SEARCH ACTION PLAN

Posted on : May 6, 2020 By admin
Uncategorized 

Landing your dream job across the pond, whether in the bustling USA or historic
UK, can be both exciting and daunting. But fear not, intrepid job seeker! This
comprehensive action plan equips you with the tools and strategies to navigate
the job market, showcase your talents, and land the perfect position.

Know Thyself (and the Market)


1. SELF-ASSESSMENT: DEFINING YOUR GOALS

The journey begins with introspection. What kind of role ignites your passion?
Is it the fast-paced environment of a tech startup in Silicon Valley, or the
analytical rigor of a finance firm in London? Research different industries and
company cultures in both the USA and UK.

Here are some resources for self-discovery:

 * Career aptitude tests: These online tools can help identify your interests
   and skills.
 * Informational interviews: Connect with professionals in your desired field to
   gain insights.
 * Industry publications and job boards: Explore various career paths and salary
   ranges.


2. RESEARCHING YOUR TARGET MARKET (USA VS. UK)

Understanding the nuances of each job market is crucial. Here’s a breakdown:

 * USA: Known for its hustle culture and focus on results. Resumes tend to be a
   one-pager highlighting achievements.
 * UK: Values strong academic qualifications and soft skills. Resumes can be two
   pages and emphasize transferable skills.
 * Craft Your Story – Resumes and Cover Letters


3. RESUME REVAMP:

 * Tailor your resume for each application: Highlight skills and experiences
   relevant to the specific job description.
 * Keywords are key: Use industry-specific keywords that Applicant Tracking
   Systems (ATS) recognize to pass initial screening.
 * Quantify your achievements: Use data and metrics to showcase the impact you
   made in previous roles.


4. CAPTIVATING COVER LETTERS:

 * Go beyond “Dear Hiring Manager”: Find the name of the hiring manager and
   personalize your greeting.
 * Hook them early: Begin with a strong opening that demonstrates your passion
   for the company and role.
 * Connect the dots: Explain how your skills and experience align with the job
   requirements.
 * Call to action: End by expressing your enthusiasm for the interview and
   providing your contact information.

Bonus Tip: Leverage online resume builders and cover letter templates, but
always customize them to your unique profile.

Sharpen Your Skills – Interview Preparation


5. MASTERING THE INTERVIEW (USA):

 * Be confident and concise: American interviews are often direct and focus on
   achievements.
 * Prepare for behavioral questions: Use the STAR method (Situation, Task,
   Action, and Result) to showcase how you handled specific challenges.
 * Research common interview questions: Practice answering them with clarity and
   enthusiasm.




6. ACING THE INTERVIEW (UK):

 * Dress professionally and demonstrate good manners: First impressions matter
   in the UK job market.
 * Highlight your soft skills: Communication, teamwork, and problem-solving are
   highly valued.
 * Be prepared for situational questions: These assess your thought process and
   approach to hypothetical scenarios.

Network Like a Pro


7. LEVERAGE LINKEDIN:

 * Optimize your profile: Include a professional headshot, relevant keywords,
   and a compelling summary.
 * Join relevant groups and engage in discussions: Become an active member of
   the online community.
 * Connect with industry professionals: Reach out to individuals in your field
   for informational interviews.


8. ATTEND INDUSTRY EVENTS & CONFERENCES:

 * Network in person with potential employers and learn about current industry
   trends.
 * Practice your elevator pitch: A concise, compelling summary of your skills
   and career goals.
 * Follow up with meaningful connections: Express your gratitude and maintain
   the dialogue.

Ace the Visa Process (if applicable)


9. RESEARCH VISA REQUIREMENTS:

 * Determine the specific visa type you require for work authorization in the
   USA or UK.
 * Gather necessary documentation: This may include transcripts, work experience
   references, and proof of funds.
 * Seek guidance from immigration lawyers or visa consultants: Ensure a smooth
   and compliant application process.

Bonus Tip: Start the visa application process as early as possible as it may
take several months to be approved.

Negotiation & Beyond


10. NEGOTIATE YOUR SALARY:

 * Research average salaries for your role and location.
 * Be confident and professional: Clearly articulate your value to the company.
 * Consider the total compensation package: Benefits, vacation time, and
   professional development opportunities.


11. CELEBRATE YOUR SUCCESS & KEEP GROWING:

Once you land the job, focus on integration. Learn the company culture, build
relationships with colleagues, and actively seek opportunities to learn and
grow.

 * Maintain your professional network: Stay connected with industry contacts for
   future opportunities.
   Additional Considerations:
 * Language Skills: Brush up on your English language skills, particularly for
   the UK market where formal communication is valued. Accents are generally
   accepted in both countries, but clear communication is key.
 * Cultural Differences: Be mindful of cultural differences between the USA and
   UK. Americans tend to be more direct in communication, while British
   communication can be more nuanced.
 * Time Zones: If interviewing remotely, adjust your schedule to accommodate
   time zone differences. Be professional and punctual for virtual interviews.

Resources:

 * USA Department of State:

 * UK Government – Visas and Immigration:

   Indeed: https://www.indeed.jobs/
 * Glassdoor: https://www.glassdoor.com/index.htm
 * LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/

Remember, with dedication, strategic planning, and a positive attitude, you can
land your dream job across the pond, whether it’s in the dynamic USA or the
historic UK. Good luck!

Bonus Tip: Consider subscribing to job alerts from relevant companies and
websites. This keeps you updated on new opportunities and allows you to apply
early!
