I've recently arrived to NYC with Green Card (permanent residence program), I'm from Uzbekistan I've worked in my country as Web Designer, I've applied to more than 100 Web related jobs, in NY I but no result. since November 20th (my arrival date) I've done almost all jobs, moving helper, Dunkin' Donuts baker, Delivery helper at supermarket, Busboy at restaurant (all part time jobs). Nobody gonna hire me. I feel myself lost in the big NYC. I hope 'll find a job I want.
- nlh 14y agoWelcome to NYC, and I hope you end up doing something you love and that pays you well for it. I'm curious -- how are things here compared to back home? Are you earning more in your part-time jobs here than you did back home? I know it's only been a month, but I'm just curious about your perspective. I ask because I've heard a lot of stories from a lot of immigrants and they cover a HUGE range. I've had some guys tell me that they're thrilled to be earning $7/hour, that they love living in a home with 10 other people, and that they're happier than they've ever been because compared to back home, they're earning 10x as much, living with heat, hot water, eat well every day (McDonalds is well for them), and are _still_ sending money home. So it's a matter of perspective -- just curious to hear your story...

- vellum 14y agoYou'll get better results if you spend more time introducing yourself at tech meetups, and less time browsing monster.com A lot of those job sites are black holes as far as resumes are concerned. I don't know all get-togethers in NY, but meetup.com is a good place to start.
