Navigating the US job market is very different from other countries. You need to brand yourself, get past the applicant tracking systems, and get meetings with hiring managers. The AFC-USA offered this career advancement workshop for free to all members and credentialed foreign journalists. This workshop presented tips, tactics, and strategies for your resume, LinkedIn profile, finding the hidden job market and how to get meetings with key people, not the human resources department.
