I've been on both sides of the employment fence and one big mental block for employers is having to go through all the legal paperwork to hire someone on a visa. As far as employment is concerned there is zero difference between a US citizen and a permanent resident so I am not persuaded that is the reason (unless it's a defense company and security clearances are a hassle for non-citizens). I can't really speak to the 'foregin' company experience though - however that's orthogonal to visa status.
- flooha 17y agoAs far as employment is concerned there is zero difference between a US citizen and a permanent resident... True...the difference is in the perception.
- TallGuyShort 17y agoHas she considered using the phrase "Authorized To Work In The U.S." instead? Maybe I'm oversimplifying the issue, but that probably puts out a better perception than "permanent resident".
- flooha 17y agoNot a bad idea, I'll suggest it to her, thanks.
