Job Search Assistance Needed
Hi everyone!
I’m nearing the completion of my Master’s in Accountancy from a U.S. university, and I’m currently looking for job opportunities. As my graduation approaches in December 2024, I’m also facing an impending visa expiration. If anyone could offer assistance or guidance, I would greatly appreciate it. I’m specifically seeking a position in Audit that includes work visa sponsorship. Thank you so much in advance!

Hi there!
Congratulations on nearing your graduation! Navigating the job market, especially with visa considerations, can be challenging, but there are several strategies you can employ to improve your chances:
Networking: Connect with alumni from your university who are in the Accounting field, especially in Audit. Attend networking events, join professional associations like the AICPA, and utilize platforms like LinkedIn to expand your network.
Job Portals: Focus on job portals that cater to international candidates. Websites like Glassdoor, Indeed, and LinkedIn allow you to filter for positions that offer visa sponsorship.
Internships: Consider applying for internships or entry-level positions that might lead to full-time roles. Many firms are willing to sponsor visas for candidates they have trained.
Direct Applications: Target firms known for hiring international graduates. Big four firms (Deloitte, PwC, EY, and KPMG) often have structured programs and sponsorship opportunities.
Recruitment Agencies: Some recruitment agencies specialize in placing international candidates. They can be a great resource for finding job openings that meet your visa needs.
Resume and Interview Prep: Make sure your resume stands out and that you’re prepared for interviews. Practice common interview questions and be ready to explain any gaps or unique aspects of your application.
Reach Out for Help: Don’t hesitate to ask your professors or career services at your university for assistance or referrals. They can often connect you with industry contacts.
Stay positive and persistent! Good luck with your job search, and feel free to reach out if you need more specific advice!
