How I was looking for my first managerial job in the USA — Career on vc.

ru

It was the middle of July, there was a terrible heat, I woke up in the afternoon in a basement on the outskirts of Brooklyn in a sweat from nightmares. For several months now I have been looking for work all day long, I have tried all the methods known to me, but there was still no result.

39 273
views

Money flies away, and all that remains is to repeat all the same actions in the hope that one day they will bring a different result. I will pray that this happens before I go bankrupt. nine0004

Some time ago, after winning a green card, I decided to move and try myself in the USA. Since before that I worked mainly in financial services and I didn’t have much acquaintances in the USA, the choice fell on New York.

Before moving, I had 15 years of experience behind me, of which five years as a programmer, ten years of management experience in IT. In recent years, I have managed several small fintech companies and also worked on several World Bank projects in the Caucasus, West Africa and Central Asia. nine0004

My level of English was good, although I did not live or study in English-speaking countries.

Whom to work?

Initially, the question arose of which position to apply for. My previous positions did not correspond to any position in the American sense. I had to spend quite a lot of time to analyze the market:

• Who is more in demand — I compared the number of active vacancies on LinkedIn.
• Who gets paid more – looked at salaries on Glassdoor. nine0107
• Competition – LinkedIn’s paid version lets you see how many people are applying for a particular job.

Potential candidates for CIO, Solutions Architect, software developer, Head of Development, Project Manager, Delivery Manager, Product manager, Scrum Master, and this is not a complete list. Starting as a programmer was the easiest option, but I really didn’t want to take such a big step back.

Becoming a boss without good acquaintances and American experience was also unpromising. The choice narrowed down, and in the end, after thinking about what I want to do, I chose the position of a project manager. nine0004

CV → CV

The first step, of course, is preparing the right resume. Before that, I had a CV of three pages with a photo, which I almost never used. After watching a few videos, I made the first version and uploaded it for correction in TopResume.

As a result, my paid resume, made by no one knows who, has acquired the most terrible form of all possible. Never, you hear, never use paid anonymous resume writing services! nine0125

You will need to rework it, adapt it almost every day and it is very important to have a good understanding of the pros and cons of specific decisions, for example, what elements to use (tables, columns, fonts), resume size, paragraph structure, keyword distribution, use of creative templates and etc.

I have always believed that the greatest asset in life is my circle of acquaintances. Four years ago, I flew from Dushanbe to Tbilisi, and next to me was a very interesting interlocutor Khurshed, a technical expert of the telecom, with whom we talked all the way. nine0004

We didn’t talk much afterward, but when he noticed on LinkedIn that I had moved to New York, he pointed me to one organization that had helped him for free: UpwardlyGlobal.

I wrote to them. As a result, I was assigned an assistant, helped with my resume, from time to time I was given paid trainings and organized a series of test interviews in companies such as Google, Accenture and so on. On them, the recruiter conducts interviews and at the same time gives feedback, and at the end sends a report. nine0004

I can’t even imagine how much time and nerves this saved me. After all, you can endlessly go through interviews that are so difficult to get and not understand why you are not taken.

Where are my money?

I’m ready – I have a resume, green card, language, international experience, education and certificates in a city with a huge number of vacancies, take it, grab it, I’m yours!

But everything turned out to be not so simple, no one even answered me for the first 40 mailings. I was very surprised, but decided not to take it personally and use the Kaizen method – the sequential analysis of my failures and continuous improvement. nine0004

What works for solving complex technical problems cannot fail to work in my career development. Most of my ideas and insights can be displayed in the following simplified mindmap.

The first challenge – how to make a resume perfect

My resume is a six-second chance for a recruiter to like it, which is the average amount of time they spend reading it. But does my resume ever get to recruiters? All large companies that process a large number of resumes use automated ATS systems that scan the resume and rank it according to the keywords of the job. nine0004

It’s not enough just to fit the job, you need to somehow stand out from the background of other candidates who graduated from cool business schools and worked at Google and Microsoft.

So, when even with a one-page resume update, I still didn’t get any responses, I seriously wondered what the problem might be. Theoretically, there may be several reasons for this: a problem with the content or with the format.

To figure out which format is best, I:

• Added recruiters and other project managers to LinkedIn and consulted with them. nine0107
• On some sites like ZipJob, Indeed had a free 30-minute call with their specialist and discussed all issues.

The content was more difficult:

• I started using Jobscan.co, a paid service that indicates what phrases are missing in the resume and gives recommendations on how to adapt it to a specific job.
• The only formal thing that I lacked for a perfect project manager resume, with a master’s degree in computer science, PMP and experience, was a Scrum master certificate. Therefore, after three weeks of preparation, I passed the exam and received the PSM-I certificate. nine0107
• I removed all high positions from my resume, began to position myself as an office worker, without showing my passion for entrepreneurship, which is not regarded positively, especially in large companies.
• The biggest problem was that I had no American experience and my last job was in Spain. To hack this item, I added a new paragraph to my resume, where I indicated the same Spanish company, but wrote that I work in New York, and already reflected in the description that I work remotely. This trick allowed me to successfully pass through the ATS filters, and gradually rare calls began to come to me. nine0107

Challenge Two – Resume Submission Strategy

One of the main and important questions: where to send resumes. Realizing that it would not be easy, I decided to postpone my requirements for the company and ambitions for the future, although there were still some restrictions: geography (New York, San Francisco), a salary of more than $100 thousand per year and a project manager position or close to it .

I really wanted to work in a large corporation, preferably a financial one, in order to diversify the experience after start-ups, and get to know as many people as possible, as well as gain experience in scaling management processes. nine0004

In general, after reading the books of Robert Green many years ago, I became interested in working with all the ins and outs in large hierarchical human structures, where different sides of amazing human nature are manifested more than anywhere else.

Strategy One: Bulletin Boards

Initially, I sent resumes to large corporations looking for jobs on their website or on LinkedIn. Then through Indeed, ZipJob, FlexJobs, ZipRecruiter, Nexxt, Dice, but there was no special result. Although I sent adapted resumes, none of the above brought me the coveted interviews. nine0004

And the result was the following:

• One evening, in passing, registered on Monster , in the morning my phone “exploded”. Recruiters with a heavy Hindu accent called each other. After ten days, the flow decreased and became stable – five offers a day. It took a lot of time to answer, but it turned out to be useful, since I honed my answers to complete automatism, it raised my motivation and brought me some real interviews.

nine0106 Builtinnyc – Here you can find New York startups and their vacancies. This has been the most helpful resource for me.

• AngelList – there are also a lot of vacancies for startups all over America and beyond.

Strategy two: cold emails

One day Upwardly Global invited me to hold an informational meeting with their volunteer, an American who had worked in IT for a long time as a project manager.

We met and talked for an hour in a park in Manhattan, where he said he didn’t remember anyone around ever finding a job posting job vacancies! nine0004

— Just imagine, Andrey, you send a resume with a cover letter, and 250 more resumes arrive in parallel, of which ten have internal recommenders, ten more studied at top business schools, in the same place as the managers hiring them, ten more work in companies where managers once worked and where these people are easy to check, but tell me, where are you on this list?

— Yes, Greg, I’m clearly in the ass in this situation. What then to do?

– Write letters of pain. Choose organizations where you understand the problems, find potential managers on their website or on LinkedIn, identify their email addresses and write. And it doesn’t matter if there is a vacancy in this department or not, if they like you, they will find a place to place you. nine0004

— What was your score, Greg?

– Once I sent about 90 letters, a couple wrote an angry response, about ten responded with gratitude, there were several interviews, and in the end I received an offer.

• An article on how to write pain letters.
• Service for collecting or finding contacts.

I myself sent ten such letters in one of the three templates I came up with, and received no response. I really like this approach. This kind of initiative and assertiveness is something that is valued in the US, but you need to try many options and consult with those who understand the local culture well. This daring job-hack can make you stand out even against the background of very strong contenders. nine0004

Strategy three: working with recruiters

I liked working with Jobspringpartners, they had FinTech PM positions. I sent resumes to their vacancies several times, and once I was invited to the office and had a serious screening, and then a manager was attached to me, with whom we called up from time to time, and he tried to “sell” me into specific projects.

The applicant himself does not pay anything for such a service at any stage. For several weeks I did not receive an interview, but the impression was very good. nine0004

Fourth strategy: attending recruitment fairs (hiring expo)

Usually they happen within the framework of conferences or technical exhibitions. It is possible to personally shake hands with the hiring manager and seduce him with technical skills and personal charm.

Therefore, always go to all events in perfect appearance. It is not necessary that your outfit should correspond to the American understanding of fashion, the main thing is that it does not violate etiquette and be quite beautiful! I have attended such events twice, and each time after that there was a sequel. nine0004

Strategy Five: Lure Recruiters on LinkedIn

LinkedIn has a feature to show recruiters that you are looking for a job. I have enabled this feature and indicated the places where and by whom I want to work. In the beginning, there were very few requests, most of which were irrelevant. How I fixed it:

• Removed coding skills from the skills, where I had a lot of ratings, which, when searching, led me to the wrong recruiters.
• I looked at what skills are indicated in the vacancies that interest me, added them and asked my friends to rate me on them. nine0107
• Added two of my relevant certificates to my last name.

There are three fields in total where information is written for which they are looking for and which is your brand – there are many articles about “about” and “headline”, but there are quite a few articles about the third field “note for recruiters” in “career interests” information.

Here’s what I wrote there: “Available immediately | Green card holder | excellent communication skills”, sometimes I even added directly to the beginning of the salary range that I want to receive. I wrote this because I understood: first of all, in my case, recruiters have precisely these questions. nine0004

Third challenge – how to increase your circle (networking)

According to statistics, 80% of all positions in the US are filled through dating. Acquaintances can apply through internal channels, your chances greatly increase, and if you are hired, they will receive a cash bonus. For myself, I divide the whole practice of networking into three parts: getting to know each other, maintaining relationships, and improving my own communication skills.

I had several sources for the constant growth of contacts:

• Acquaintances of acquaintances and their acquaintances. I systematically tried to increase the circle and participate in all sorts of events, which I really liked even without networking. Mostly, many people responded positively, especially from the Armenian and Georgian communities, where people tried to help somehow without any special requests from me.

• I try to communicate wherever possible – in social networks, at parties, on the beach, in the store. You never know what a simple hilarious line might turn into. nine0107

• I also sometimes worked in co-working spaces in the GetCroissant network, expecting that there would be interesting acquaintances. But during the time that I spent in them, I did not see anyone talking to each other in the coworking space. The exceptions are happy hours, when on Fridays people sometimes drink and have fun.

• Professional presentations, meetups that can be found on Meetup – usually not many people come there, but such acquaintances are much stronger and more interesting. nine0107

• General networking on rooftops that are also advertised on Meetup. The most diverse people come, but for myself I did not find useful connections there. But is quite suitable for honing communication skills.

Honing communication. I think is the most important paragraph of in my entire history, especially for immigrants. No matter how many people you meet and whatever your resume, without proper communication, the road to success is closed! nine0004

Realizing that even though I have a lot of experience in communicating with different cultures, literally in the first few minutes of a conversation I do something that “confuses” the interlocutor. In what purely theoretically there can be a problem? This is either:

• What I say is the content of my speech.
• As I speak – accent and grammar.
• Non-verbalics – body language.

Without thinking for a long time, I decided to start working on all the points. In terms of content, I decided to mirror the interlocutor more, not to touch on more personal topics than those that the interlocutor touched on. If he is talking about the weather, then you should not ask about work, if we are already talking about business, then I myself should not jump to where he lives and how he works. As if he allowed the interlocutor to mature himself and, if trust exists, to be the first to open up. nine0004

Hired an accent therapist via Skype to improve the way I speak. We called up once or twice a week for an hour. The session cost $40, after seven or eight sessions she herself told me that this was enough. After that, they stopped asking me in the first minutes of the conversation where I was from. I advise everyone, it was my best investment in America.

It is not easy to master non-verbalism, since most of the signals are expressed by our brain automatically. This requires constant observation and work “from the inside” with the way of thinking and attitude to the outside world, which by itself leads to a change in posture, gaze and radiated energy. nine0004

When I go to an interview, I turn myself on, warm up, starting to communicate with fellow travelers or other job applicants. Also, just before the meeting, I imagine something very good so that my smile is natural.

Interview

In a few months I was invited to the following interviews:

• Three startup interviews, one made an appointment and never showed up or wrote anything. The interviews took place online. It is interesting that there was not a single standard question with startups, even the most banal – tell us about yourself. From the first second there were questions like: “How did you do the engineering of predictors” or “How did you estimate the task size when planning a sprint in project X”. nine0107
• Several rounds of JetBlue interviews I got through Monster recruiters. The last round was live. I visited their open plan office and didn’t see a single American there. I think the salaries there were also gloomy. As a result, they asked me practically nothing there, they talked more, sometimes leaving me no opportunity to insert a word.
• Paypal – my friend made me a reference there. After the screening call, I was interviewed online by three managers in succession for two hours. There were a lot of behavioral and situational questions. As a result, due to the holiday period, the process slowed down, and at this time I agreed to another offer, so the process remained unfinished. nine0107
• In one branch of an Israeli company, after several online interviews, I was invited to the office, where I was offered to change the process in their admin panel, reconfigure the system, and then opened Excel with seven tasks for its deep understanding (sometimes the work does not always correspond to the title of the position). After that, they still called me for an interview with a programmer, where I would have to demonstrate knowledge of SQL, but I already had an offer much cooler, and I refused. Their boss immediately called me back and offered better conditions than at the beginning (initially they offered $ 100 thousand and a bonus), but it was too late. nine0107
• I had a funny experience with a university software company. We agreed to an online interview at 6:00, and I finished the previous meeting on Google at 5:55. I jumped out of Google looking for a quiet place and popped into Chelsea Market. In the end, I found a space between the store and the street, a small corridor with tight glass doors where no one passed. I started a video interview, and suddenly a terrible downpour poured down, and people began to run into this space, escaping from the rain. And here I am standing in the corner with headphones on, with the camera turned on, on a crowded 10 m² and answering standard questions. It was absolutely clear to everyone what was happening, and ten minutes later they were all hissing in unison at loud passers-by to keep them quiet, and when I finished, I received a flurry of applause and supportive remarks. nine0107
• An interesting and instructive incident occurred during a trial interview at the consulting company Accenture, which Upwardly Global arranged for me and a dozen other guys. I arrived early and in the room where the event was to be held, preparations were underway. The rest of the guys were waiting in the corridor, and I immediately went up to one of the workers and offered to help. I ended up helping fetch some chairs and had a few chats with this worker (remember my warm-up?). When it came time for the interview, it turned out that this “worker” was the director of the department and my interviewer! It was a success! When he came up and sat down, we continued the conversation already as good friends, and I told him that I was interested in working in their company. After the interview, I did not even have time to get home, as I received a letter from him asking him to send him a resume. He gave me an internal reference and the process began! nine0107
• IT consulting corporation – they found me on LinkedIn themselves, in two days I spoke online with four representatives.
