So how to get that?
According to my knowledge you will get permission/VISA only when you get offer letter from a company in US.
And company arranges for the VISA.
Is there any other method for getting right to work in US?
Please let me know

no...there's nothing else for foreigners...when you are accepted by a company they give you a work permit and help you getting the visa...!!
or maybe you can apply for a green card...then you'll be an american and you won't have problems in working there

Hi Khouly,
Hi all;
I think that the better way to find a job is to taget one or two companies. I mean that you have to search for the companies that are looking for Engineers having your profile and Skills and choose one or two among them. Then you have to collect some informations on these companies. If it happen that you dont have some Skills/knowledge demanded try to do a self trainings and read some papers/books. When you get ready, visit their official website and in the job area, upload your CV.
Doing So, you have a very great chance to succed. Coz the company found the Engineer that she was looking for.
Another method that I don't appreciate too much is to register and upload your CV in job-websites. I know many friends that went to France, UK and USA thanks to these websites.
Check these links:
www.monster.com
www.cadremploi.fr
www.cadresonline.com

| I can talk only about US. The best starting point is to place your CV or resume on Monster.com In US usually engineers use resume and PhD use CV. Next step is to find the company which will be agree to provide visa support. It can be done with the help of head hunters and searching monster.com, dice.com, etc. Many companies are looking for good RF engineers and because here in US we have shortage of them it s possible to find such company who will support visa process.

| A better job-search site (IMHO) is "indeed.com". They gather-up jobs from all the other sites, and put them in a search-able database with links. You can make your search location specific if you want. To get a work visa in the US is almost impossible-- there are only so many of these allocated each year, and they are gone on the first day they are made available. The US is *not* the only market out there for your new skills-- the EU might be a better bet right now, as the US is in a major economic downturn, and it may not recover for years...

To khouly,
My own experience with US companies shows that I got an interview for about every 15th sent resume. I consider this as a good rate. 1 from 25th will be good too. My resume is good after many years of polishing it and I have 45 years of experience and multiple engineering degrees, patents and publications, so probably such a rate is not surprise. A lot depend on the quality of resume. Just one example. One of my previous employer needed a couple of engineers. Their place ad in local newspaper and received about 800 resumes in the first week. Front desk girl was assigned to make the first selection and she did it simply by looking on the envelopes. If envelope was nice and clean she leave it, if not put it into trashcan. More then half of envelopes were thrown away. Then she open envelopes and saw the resumes. If it nice and clean she leave it otherwise put into trashcan. Finally she chose about 80 resumes and gave them to the engineer who looked at them. This guy leave only those where he found clear information about professional, what he or she can do and what did in the past. He let only 10 resumes go to the HR. About 8 of them were invited for interview and two were hired. In this case 8 people were interviewed from 800, which is about 1%.
Regarding visa I know a lot of people who got it. Of course it is not easy process, but possible. In my company today more then half of engineers were hired with visa support. US engineers are minority in many companies. Our RF department even speaks another language almost all the time.

What is the difference between a resume and a CV ?
What are the chances for a PhD to find a job in USA ? In fact I heared that few of Phd are Hired there.
Thank you.

| Again, I can talk only about US situation. Here engineers use resume and PhD use CV. CV is more detailed description and usually has more pages than resume which should be no more than three pages (all lists like publications, awards, patents and so on must be submitted as separate addendum, if they are long). Both forms of the document are created for one purpose: to help you to sell yourself. This means you need to show the most essential information in the beginning in short form. Just two or three sentences, no more, must represent you. Then you need to include your major knowledge and skills in clear and concise form. Then you put your working experience for resume and this is the place for detailed list of what you did and what you achieved. Here it is very desirable to use actual numbers. For example if you designed PLL you need to include real parameters e.g.: "Designed fractional N synthesizer with -145dBc per Hertz phase noise". Having real number is good support for your resume and increase your chances. But be prepare to explain every small letter in your resume. Hiring manager need to see hundreds of resumes and he or she does not have a lot of time. He will check the first a few lines in resume and if he found something what he need he probably will read more. In this case he need to find all essential information in the next half of the page. This are the conditions for success. All other resumes ends in the trash can.

Thank you knouly,
I just share my opinion and I think that I told right things. But it is wise to find web site(s) on the Internet that dedicated to the resume writing and check it again. First of all it is always good to have the second opinion. Beside this you definitely will find a lot of helpful information. Probably it is necessary to do for any of countries where you are going to apply for a job.
I checked yesterday information about limited number of visas with immigration office. They confirmed that this number is limited and if there will be more applicants then visas (which is the situation for every year) there will be a kind of lottery. But it does not mean that you must give up. Here is more foreign engineers than American professionals and all of them got their visas.
Again, this is just the answers to your questions. I am not agitate nobody to immigrate, this is very personal.
