Re: Finding a job in USA as a graduate engineer
So what do you suggest I do? Should I write no visa sponsorship required in the resume as well? There is one company I applied to and someone keeps looking at my application (I know because its updated real-time) but no reply so maybe the other person is right, they don't know what to do with it 
Stuff like having a greencard, worth bringing up if you are by-passing HR and sending it to someone who will likely be doing the hiring, but as a follow up...but it'll all depend on the type of job and how you're applying.

If you received an application from address "Flat 17, 56 Gloucester Rd, London." would you notice that it is actually PO Box 17, at Mailboxes Etc? It is an area with many flats so the chances of anyone noticing that it isn't actually where you live is slim to none, and likely not even an issue even if they do notice!

Yup, people do it in the UK too - UPS Store in the US is the same company as Mailboxes Etc in the UK. Some people do it for jobs, but it works for all sorts of reasons.

One more question, do you guys think I am eligible for internships even though I have graduated already? Most job requirements state something like 'must be pursuing a degree in mechanical engineering'

Re: Finding a job in USA as a graduate engineer
I was recently given this template to use for a cv. Very different from anything I've done before. It is the recommended one for UT students/graduates to use.

let me know if you can't see it, I have attempted to make it available to anyone with the link
Might be worth getting your degree transcribed to a US format? People use GPA to figure out how clever you are.

In my experience you can go back in and edit the profile, add qualifications, change the wording, delete and replace the uploaded resume and/ or covering letter, etc.

No, it won't look dodgy. Probably won't even realize it's the same person.
