Default Job hunting

Anyone have any tips as I am having a hard time finding work here in the US. I
am from the UK, my last position was Desktop Support Officer.

Cheers, Michael.

I'm gonna be in the same boat in the middle of Oklahoma.

I say get what you can and build up from there.
Some income is better than none

Good luck

No. 1 tip in my opinion is to Americanize your CV into a resume. For instance, is the title, "Desktop Support Officer" a term used in the US. If not, you'd better select something comprehensible to an American.

You also need to Americanize your education. See/search previous threads on job hunting.
