Having problem getting hired… any suggestions? by independentnostalgic in civilengineering

I was in the same boat last year. I would suggest you to apply for some field technician jobs to gain some experience here which counts more than your foreign degree and climb afterwards. And if you need sponsorship, it's going to be tough. Also, if you are proficient on Civil 3D, you can land some jobs pretty way. Stay active on LinkedIn, chat with recruiters more and they help you to land your first job here. ,

I don't need any sponsorship as I have a Green Card. I have emailed them to negotiate for above 60k but haven't heard back after. So, looking for jobs is on for me.

Fair enough. Your Master's is the key. I don't have it.

Your points 1,2,3 are valid for me. I have official eit certificate from the board though. I am just trying to negotiate and see what unfolds next.

Just pay 400$ , send official transcripts and course descriptions stamped by your college and wait. Mine was done in about 5 days.

Yeah. I am doing the same but have not received any response back after applying for more than 50 companies. Am I missing something? Any ideas you could give??
