How can an immigrant looking for a job find one or advance his career? What services or assistance are available to him? Here are the 4 best websites and apps to find jobs in the United States for newly arrived immigrants.

1. Upwardly Global

Immigrants bring a wide range of skills, experience, qualifications, and knowledge to the U.S. labor market. However, they may face barriers to employment due to local, federal, or professional regulations related to their field of work. In other words, American employers do not recognize the educational qualifications or professional training of immigrants, and they often end up taking jobs below their skill level.

Mission Upwardly global - change it. The organization strives to remove barriers to employment for skilled immigrants and refugees and integrate them into the U.S. professional workforce. Through training, networking, resources and job searches, Upwardly Global helps newcomers to the United States reintegrate into their chosen professional field.

Pros:

  • Upwardly Global has a very detailed and well-structured Professional Licensing Guide that provides an invaluable resource for newcomers to the US to understand the steps required to obtain a professional license or certification in their field.
  • The resource has partnerships with employers. He is potentially available to match you with a company, and also provides coaching and assistance to get you through the initial stages of CV submission and interviewing.
  • The website is full of useful features, including resources on employment rules during COVID-19, such as sick leave.

Cons:

  • Upwardly Global is only available in 16 US states: New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, California, Washington State, Washington, DC, Virginia, Maryland, Illinois, Indiana, Georgia, Texas, Ohio, Minnesota, Tennessee, or Wisconsin.
  • You must be in the United States with a green card or approved visa and no more than 5 years.
  • You cannot search for available vacancies like in a search engine. Instead, you submit an application and then the Upwardly Global team will contact you, so be prepared to fill out a few forms.
