Your resume should be strong, inclusive of all your achievements, so that your transferable skills can also be identified and it should be convincing.

Your resume should also be fresh and clean and tidy. There should be no stains or unnecessary marks on it of any kind- grease, blood, tea etc.

Be pursuant. It is important for you to show your employer how interested you are to get the job and how important it is to you. You could constantly keep enquiring about the vacancy- whether it has still become available or not, at convenient and not-too-intrusive intervals.

There are plenty of websites that offer you the list of vacancies. Having had decided upon what your interests are and what kind of a job you want, you could find them on the websites.

There are classifieds in the newspapers also that could help you find a work in America. Jobs in America have no dearth. But it is more of finding a job in America that would satisfy your wants and needs.
