I was lucky when I got my first US job

ap104(accounting staff)

My company is a MNC, which has operation in both US and Canada. The hiring manager was in Toronto office and he knew TN Visa. Actually when I took interview with him, the first question he asked me was whether I was Canadian citizen or not. If not, he did not want to waste time since H1B was impossible to get in short period. I got the job and applied the TN visa right away.

Before I got this offer, I took an interview with Kforce, which is a big recruiting firm in US as well. The staffing manager seems no idea about the TN visa and I had to spent long time explaining to her how easy to get working visa for Canadian citizen with CGA designation. But finally I still did not get any help from her.

So I think it depends on the hiring manager's experience and knowledge.

Since we are not in IT industry, we have to be patient and keep trying.

Good luck.

Is it easy for you to find an accounting job in TX? Local companies and agents do not care much about your status in US?

I worked in US under TN Visa first and then the company sponsored me for the H1B. Near one month ago, I started to look for jobs in some southern cities. But I have not received any feedback so far. Maybe the recent economic downturn does hurt us.

Would you like to share how did you find a company to get TN? -carriehou(在US shopping 真爽); 2008-2-1 (#4232196@0)

NJ. Any suggestion? -carriehou(在US shopping 真爽); 2008-1-31 (#4230532@0)

Hi, Did you check out the "accounting" is on their TN list? -nj_guy(nj_guy); 2008-1-31 (#4229791@0)

如果夫妻两个人都是IT，加国公民，都申请TN（或先后申请），会不会被认为移民倾向影响成功率呢？ -tubie(上浮)(冒泡)(下潜); 2008-2-1 (#4232216@0)

我的经验是没问题. -torontospring2006(springToronto); 2008-2-1 (#4232725@0)

就我研究分析下来，如果你拿到offer，签出tn的必要条件，１，你有本科以上会计学历，２，或者你有北美专业会计认证，CMA,CPA,CA,CGA。同感，我也无聊着呢：（上学还是国际留学生收费，郁闷 -blacksky(坚决不租房); 2008-2-1 (#4233038@0)
坛子里这么多人，TD就这么少末？ -carriehou(在US shopping 真爽); 2008-2-1 (#4233541@0)

我不是TD，但我觉得和正常找工作没什么区别吧。只是今年的工作机会少了很多。周边的几个朋友都是想换工作，可发了简历没消息。耐心些，慢慢找。。。 -torontospring2006(springToronto); 2008-2-2 (#4234431@0)

most IT consulting agency knew how TN worked in US. In my opinion, other field agency may not know about TN. you have to explain how it work and don't need a sponsorship. by the way, I felt it pretty harder to get a job than last year. good luck!! -tian_bo_dan(ltb); 2008-2-2 (#4234714@0)

你是说现在找NJ的IT job很不容易吗? -fromhere(716); 2008-2-2 (#4234868@0)
