HELLO SIR I NEED SOME ADVICE ABOUT MY SON, HE IS IN USA LAST SEM IN MS CS FROM USC. WORRIED ABOUT JOB IN USA AND DONT WANT TO BACK IN INdia, WHAT SHOULD HE DO?

Ans: Sir, I advise your son to go right now to a qualified, professional, experienced career coach located in the USA itself. He should also look at other nations with good immigration laws or Canada. He can make attendance at USC-hosted on-campus career fairs and networking gatherings He should get advice and referrals from USC graduates. Tell him to highlight his internships and noteworthy projects including in-demand abilities, thereby optimizing his Resume merely on two pages with keywords.

He might be having his LinkedIn page, stressing his technical knowledge and accomplishments, but there are several techniques to be used in applying for jobs. Most of the job seekers are not aware of the methods; instead, Professional Career Coaches, either from the USA or any other country, are informed and will be able to assist your Son. Try contacting Vikram Anand, Sandeep Khaira (both are abroad), or any other experienced career coach. All the BEST for Your Son's Prosperous Future.

Ans: Hello Prasanna,

First and foremost, thank you for getting in touch with us. I understand your anxiety regarding your son's job possibilities after earning his MS in Computer Science at the University of Colorado. The job market can be difficult, particularly during times of recession. For the purpose of deciding whether to hunt for employment in the United States or move back to his own country, it is advised that your son take into account the following factors:

1. Analyze the employment situation in both places.
2. Consider his immigration situation and work permit.
3. Consider his professional network and relationships.
4. Consider his long-term professional objectives and the opportunities available.
5. Consider the financial consequences of each option.
6. Consider personal preferences, as well as cultural and lifestyle influences.
7. During the job search process, be tenacious and patient.
8. Use the time to network and gain new skills.

Finally, the decision should be based on a blend of practical and personal preferences.
