Hi everyone! My name is Natasha, and I'm from Irkutsk.

I found my job in America while I was still in Russia—the easiest way is the internet!!!

First, I chose the states where I wanted to work and started searching.

On Yahoo, I entered the name of the state and, for example, "hotels"—the computer gave me all the hotels with addresses and emails.

I sent my resume and a letter about how much I wanted to work for them—blah blah blah—my resume, honestly, was half-invented; no one is going to check it anyway.

I also followed the advice from the IEC.Exchange website on how to find an employer.

I sent an awesome (I'm not afraid to use that word) number of emails. Of course, not everyone replies—absolutely not everyone—but by the time I applied for the program with a job offer, I had three of them in different states! I chose Denver.

For greater efficiency in your search, start right now!!!

And don't lose touch with the employer you've found. For example, I corresponded with mine for half a year; we chatted about all sorts of nonsense and, in the meantime, about business too.

Good luck to everyone with your search!!!!
