Here is what you need to know

icrecream2005(icrecream2005)
1. Build up your skills. It's better to have North American working exp. If you can't find job in the US at first, try to at least get some Canadian exp. You should be able to communicate well in English. Polish your resume, have at least 2 senior professionals review it.
2. Build up your connection: Monster, Dice, are some of the job sites you can post your resume on. You can also find head hunters who will find a position for you in US. (For perm positions, they charge the client, not you. For contract positions, they take a % of your hourly rate)
3. Get a B visa. It's not a must, but just in case you need to go there for a face to face interview. You don't need a car, a lot of times the company will fly you over.
4. Get a TN visa, fly to US, find a place to live from Craigslist. get SSN, open bank account, get US credit car, get US driver's license, buy a car in the US, and you are all set.

          好象只有从加拿大的人中，可以比较容易找到共同的语言。那边的大陆人中，大部分是留学生，听说比较难找到共同语言。
          • 来吧来吧, 最近认识两个女孩, 也是独自来加州找工作的, 也"没有车, 没有熟人在美国", 如果你是女的, 那么一样可以做到, 如果你是男的, 嘿嘿, 不用我多说了吧... -nix(别了多伦多); 2005-10-9 (#2545174@0)
