How to Answer the “Do You Need Visa Sponsorship” Question And Keep The Interview Moving Forward
If you’re an Australian interviewing for roles in the U.S., you’ll likely be asked: “Do you need visa sponsorship?” It seems like a simple question but your answer can shape the entire conversation. In this post, I’ll show you a better way to respond. One that keeps the dialogue going, gives you space to explain the E-3 visa, and helps you move forward with confidence.
Turn your Australian-style CV into an Americanized Resume to get those interviews!
I review thousands of CVs and resumes from Australians wanting to work in America and constantly see the same mistakes made. I made these too! In America you need to use a US-style resume to score interviews. Get started with these 5 quick tips!
You might have heard of the prevailing wage.
The prevailing wage tool is a free online salary tool. This tool helps Australians understand their US market value.
Most U.S. based companies and recruiters don’t know about the special E-3 visa for Australians. As a result, talented Australians are far too often rejected from job opportunities as they are placed in a “need sponsorship” category.
Tell recruiters the E-3 visa is similar to the TN, and get them out of the H-1B headspace. Hopefully you’ll start to get more traction with interviews.
