No.337. 글로벌 기업의 인사 담당자가 말하는 미국 취업 전략 (How to get a job in the U.S.A.)
- 미국 취업을 위해서 전문성 획득, 언어 학습, 전략적인 지원은 필수 - 독특한 커버레터, 충실한 인터뷰 준비가 필요함 한인 헤드헌팅 기업인 CESNA의 담당자와 Fortune 500대 기업 중 하나인 미국 금융업체 인사 담당자와의 인터뷰를 통해 미국 취업을 꿈꾸는 이들이 궁금한 사항에 대해 이야기하고, 조언을 들어 보았다. CESNA소개1999년 서울에서 설립된 글로벌 헤드헌팅 기업으로 미국, 중국을 비롯한 5개국에 걸쳐 9개의 사무소를 운영하고 있다. 2003년 한국 헤드헌팅 기업 중에서는 최초로 미국 진출에 성공해 미국 내 재미한인 학생과 한국기업 등에 인재 공급 및 취업정보 서비스를 제공하고 있다.CESNA 담당자와의 인터뷰 요약 Q1. 미국 취업의 장점은 어떤 것이 있을까요? A1. 개인의 능력에 따른 승진에 대한 제약이 적다는 점입니다. 분야마다 업무가 다르겠지만, 같은 연차여도 연봉이 각자 다 다르고, 능력이 인정되는 것에 따라 승진에 대한 제한이 적습니다. 이직이 활발하기 때문에 다른 분야로 넘어가서 경력을 쌓을 수 있는 기회가 많이 열려 있습니다. Q2. 미국 채용과정이 한국 채용과정과 다른 점은 무엇이 있을까요? 비교적 거쳐야 하는 단계가 더 많다고 말할 수 있습니다. 한국의 경우 보통 2차 3차 인터뷰가 있으나, 미국의 경우는 인터뷰 자체 시간도 길고, 5차 이상까지도 인터뷰가 있을 수 있습니다. 또한 심층 백그라운드 체크도 있을 수 있습니다. 또한 한국은 공채 제도가 있어 연간 다수를 뽑아 각 포지션으로 분배하는 형태라면, 미국은 공채 제도가 없이 각 포지션에 맞춰서 채용을 하는 형태를 취하고 있습니다. 그렇기 때문에 포지션에 맞는 심화 인터뷰가 중요합니다. Q3. 외국인들이 취업하기에 상대적으로 유리한 분야가 있을까요? A3. 아무래도 IT와 엔지니어링 분야입니다. 기술적인 면도 있겠지만, 언어적인 측면의 이유가 있습니다. IT와 엔지니어링은 언어적인 측면도 물론 필요하지만, 기술력이 뛰어나다면 충분히 언어의 문제를 커버할 수 있는 영역이기 때문입니다. 그러나 경력이 쌓여 더 높은 자리에 가기 위해서는 당연히 언어적인 부분도 개발할 필요가 있습니다. 미국 취업이 어려워지다 보니 취업 가능성이 높은 전공에 대한 관심이 더 커진 것으로 보입니다. 또한 눈에 띄는 큰 변화는 비자 연장을 위해 전공을 선택하는 경향이 높아졌다는 것입니다. 회계, 경영 등 상경계 전공에 비하여, 비자 발급이 비교적 용이한 STEM(Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics)을 전공하는 비율이 크게 높아졌습니다. STEM 계열을 전공하지 않더라고 부전공으로 이수를 하는 경우도 자주 볼 수 있습니다. Q4. 면접을 준비하는 좋은 방법이 있을까요? A4. 면접 방식에 대해 정해진 룰이 있는 것은 아닙니다. 넌센스 질문이 있을 수도 있고, 직무에 대한 질문 등 각 기업, 포지션에 따라 매우 다양하므로 개별 기업, 포지션에 맞는 대비가 필요할 것입니다. Q5. 구직자들에게 제일 중요한 것은 무엇이라고 생각하시나요? A5. 개인적으로는 적극적으로 임하는 자세가 매우 중요하다고 생각합니다. 기회가 왔을 때 놓치지 않도록 기본적으로 준비를 해야 하겠습니다. 또한 당연히 지원한 기업에 대한 정보를 익히고, 면접 시 이를 보여줄 수 있어야 합니다. 면접은 자기 PR을 하는 자리이므로, 적극적인 자세로 왜 내가 이 회사에 필요한 인물인지를 보여주어야 합니다. Q6. 미국 취업을 준비하는 이들에게 조언을 해주신다면? A6. 현재 미국 취업은 비자 문제가 가장 크고 시급한 것으로 보이지만, 각 개인이 할 수 있는 한에서는 최대한 기본에 충실해야 한다는 것입니다. 미국인들도 취업을 위해서 여러 회사에 지원을 하고 있습니다. 특히 외국인으로서 미국 취업을 원한다면 낙심하지 않고, 지원을 많이 하는 것이 좋습니다. 우리가 획득할 수 있는 정보는 제한적이므로, 공식적으로는 비자 발급을 지원하지 않는다고 해도 상황에 따라 비자 발급이 지원되는 경우도 간혹 있으므로 여기저기 문을 두드리는 것이 취업 가능성을 높일 수 있을 것입니다. 또한 면접 기회가 주어져 면접에 임한다면, 다음 기회를 위한 연습이 될 수도 있으므로 많은 회사에 지원하여 직접 경험을 하는 것이 중요합니다. □ 미국 주요 금융업체 인사 담당자와의 인터뷰 요약 Q1. 귀사의 외국인 취업 현황은 어떻습니까? A1. 성별, 국적, 인종에 따른 차별은 금지되어 있으며, 외국인(비자 소지자)에 대한 정확한 통계는 가지고 있지 않습니다. 다만 우리 회사는 공식적으로 현재 비자 스폰서를 해주고 있지 않기 때문에 미국에서 취업이 가능한 미국 시민권자나 비자를 소지한 사람들이 근무하고 있습니다. 개인적으로는 IT 부서의 높은 동양인들의 비율이 눈에 띕니다. Q2. 신입 직원의 수요가 높은가요? A2. 대부분의 경우 경력이 있는 지원자를 선호합니다. 그러나 인턴십, 자원 봉사, 클럽 활동 등을 통해 관련 업무에 충분한 지식과 경험이 있다면 갓 졸업한 구직자들도 어느 정도 약점을 보완할 수 있을 것이라고 봅니다. Q3. 지원과정에서는 어떤 점에 유의하면 좋을까요? A3. 독특하고 정리가 잘된 커버레터는 매우 중요합니다. 이력서로 다 이야기 할 수 없는 지원자의 강점을 회사에 강조할 수 있는 좋은 방법입니다. 의외로 소수의 지원자만이 독특한 커버레터를 작성하는데 시간을 투자하고 있는데, 이는 바람직하지 않습니다. 이력서의 내용이 그리 좋지 않을 지라도 커버레터로 눈에 띄는 지원자가 될 수 있습니다. “You can't judge a book by its cover. (책의 표지로 판단해서는 안 된다.)”라는 말이 있지만, 커버레터는 마치 책의 표지처럼 지원자의 첫인상을 결정하기 때문에 매우 중요합니다. Q4. 면접 시 주요 질문은 어떤 것이 있나요? A4. 저뿐만 아니라 금융계라면 공통적으로 물어보는 질문이 있습니다. 아마도 “왜 하필 이 회사인가? 왜 이 일인가?” 라는 질문이며, 강한 인상을 줄 수 있는 답변을 준비하는 것이 필요할 것입니다. 개인적으로는 그 회사에 대한 최근 뉴스나 동향 같은 것을 관심 있게 지켜보는 것을 추천합니다. Q5. 면접을 진행할 때 유용한 조언을 준다면 어떤 것이 있을까요? A5. 질문을 하는 것을 두려워하지 말아야 합니다. 외국인으로서 면접 도중 면접관의 말을 잘못 들었다면, 당황하여 엉뚱한 대답을 하는 것보다는, 질문을 다시 해 줄 것을 정중히 요청하여 올바른 답변을 하는 것이 유리할 것입니다. 면접은 자신감이 중요하며, 면접관은 자신감을 높이 평가합니다. 면접 후에는 지원자에게 궁금한 점이 있는지 묻는 경우가 많은데, 꼭 1~2개의 질문을 준비해 가는 것이 좋습니다. 질문이 지원자가 그 회사와 산업에 대해 관심이 있다는 점을 드러낸다면 더 좋을 것입니다. 급여나 혜택에 대한 질문은 피하는 것이 좋습니다. 너무 어려운 질문을 받았을 때 잠시 생각하는 시간을 가지는 것도 좋습니다. 시간을 두고 올바른 방향으로 대답을 하는 지원자에 대해서 오히려 침묵을 두려워하지 않는 자신감을 엿볼 수 있어 좋은 점수를 받을 수도 있습니다. □ 시사점 ㅇ 미국 내 취업을 위해서 필수적인 취업비자 - 단기 취업비자는 H1으로 전문직 종사자들이 3년 (추가 3년 연장 가능하며 최대 6년)동안 미국에서 합법적으로 일을 할 수 있게 허용하는 비자. 학사 학위 이상 또는 동등한 자격을 지닌 경력자가 전공과 관련하여 미국 내의 전문 직종에 단기간 취업할 수 있음. - 미 정부는 STEM 네 가지 분야 전문직 종사자들에게 기회를 더 많이 부여 * S: Science T: Technology E: Engineering M: Mathematics - H1 비자 신청가능 직군의 예: Computer Programming, Software Engineering, Design, Merchandising, Production Advertising, Accounting, Logistics, Jewelry Design, Health Care, Architecture, Marketing, Hotel Management, Engineering 등으로 컴퓨터, 공학 관련 분야가 많음. - 미국 취업의 유망 직종은 IT/컴퓨터 분야로 최근 승인된 H-1B 비자 직종 중 80% 이상 차지 ㅇ 비자 스폰을 제공하는 기업이 줄어들긴 하였지만 관련 분야에 대한 전문성 획득, 언어 학습, 전략적인 지원 및 지원하고자 하는 회사에 대한 연구 등이 선행된다면, 미국에서의 취업이 불가능하지는 않음. - 명확한 목표를 설정하여 관련 경력을 쌓는 것이 중요 ㅇ 헤드헌팅 기업을 통한 취업 기회를 노려볼 수 있음. - 헤드헌팅 기업은 구직자에게 수수료를 요구하지 않고, 구인처가 인력을 채용했을 시에 서비스 수수료를 지급받음. - 헤드헌팅 기업을 통한 구직활동은 구직자들에게 경제적 부담이 없는 장점이 있으며, 특히 미국 시스템에 익숙하지 않은 구직자들은 헤드헌팅 기업을 통해 유용한 정보를 얻을 수 있을 것임. - 미국에는 많은 한국 기업들이 진출해 있기 때문에 한국인 인재 채용 수요는 여전히 높은 편. 미국 내 한국 기업 취업을 노린다면, 한인 헤드헌팅 기업을 통한 지원이 유리할 수도 있을 것 ㅇ 온라인 구직 활동 필요 -공식적으로 채용 공고를 내지 않고도 지인의 소개를 통한 채용도 자주 일어나기 때문에 헤드헌팅 업체, 헤드헌터와 적극적으로 접촉하는 것이 바람직 - 온라인 취업 사이트나 취업하고자 하는 기업의 홈페이지, SNS를 활용해야 할 것 ㅇ 적극적인 인터뷰 준비는 필수 - 지원하는 기업에 대해 충분히 사전 지식을 획득해야 함. - 인터뷰시 자주 묻는 질문에 대한 답변을 충분히 미리 연습하는 것이 매우 중요. 기업별 인터뷰 질문에 대해서는 온라인에서 많이 찾아볼 수 있음 자료원: CESNA 담당자 인터뷰, 금융업체 인사 담당자 인터뷰, KOTRA 달라스 무역관 의견 종합 < 저작권자 ⓒ KOTRA ＆ KOTRA 해외시장뉴스 > Read more : https://dream.kotra.or.kr/kotranews/cms/news/actionKotraBoardDetail.do?SITE_NO=3&MENU_ID=110&CONTENTS_NO=1&bbsGbn=245&bbsSn=245&pNttSn=167251- English Version -What are the U.S. job searching strategy- Acquiring expertise, language learning, and strategic support are essential for U.S. employment. -- Unique cover letter, need to be prepared for a faithful interview -[About CESNA Recruitment Group]Founded in Seoul in 1999, it operates nine offices in five countries, including the United States and China. It was the first Korean headhunting company to successfully enter the U.S. in 2003, and is providing human resources and employment information services to Korean students and Korean companies in the U.S.[Summary of the interview with CESNA Recruitment]In an interview with a person in charge of CESNA, a Korean headhunting company, and a human resources manager at a U.S. financial company, one of the Fortune 500 companies, we talked about questions and listened to advice from those who dream of getting a job in the U.S. Q1. What are the advantages of getting a job in the United States? A1. There are fewer restrictions on promotion based on individual capabilities. Different jobs may vary in different fields, but even with the same annual salary, the salary is different and there are fewer restrictions on promotion based on the recognition of the ability. There are many opportunities to move on to other fields and build a career due to the brisk turnover. Q2. What is the difference between the U.S. recruitment process and the Korean recruitment process? I would say that there are relatively more steps to go through. In Korea, there are usually two or three interviews, but in the U.S., the time itself is long, and there can be interviews up to five or more. There can also be an in-depth background check. In addition, if Korea has a public recruitment system that draws a large number of people annually and distributes them to each position, the United States does not have a public recruitment system, but rather employs them according to each position. That's why in-depth interviews with appropriate positions are important. Q3. Is there a relatively advantageous field for foreigners to get a job? A3. I think it's IT and engineering. There are technical aspects, but there are linguistic reasons. IT and engineering are necessary in terms of language as well, but with good technology, they are areas that can sufficiently cover language problems. However, in order to build up experience and reach a higher position, it is of course necessary to develop linguistic aspects as well. As employment in the U.S. has become more difficult, interest in majors with a high chance of getting a job seems to be growing. In addition, a noticeable big change is the increased tendency to choose a major to extend a visa. Compared to business majors such as accounting and management, the proportion of majors in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics), which are relatively easy to obtain visas, has increased significantly. Even if you are not majoring in STEM, you can often see it as a minor. Q4. Is there a good way to prepare for an interview? A4. There are no set rules for interviewing. There may be nonsense questions, and questions about jobs vary greatly depending on each company and position, so it will be necessary to prepare for each company and position. Q5. What do you think is the most important thing for job seekers? A5. Personally, I think active participation is very important. I should be prepared so that I don't miss the opportunity. Also, you should be able to learn information about the company you applied for and show it at the interview. An interview is a place where you promote yourself, so you should be proactive and show why you are necessary for this company. Q6. Any advice for people preparing to get a job in the US? A6. At the moment, the visa issue seems to be the biggest and most urgent thing to do with U.S. employment, but as far as each individual can, they should stick to the basics as much as possible. Americans are also applying to various companies for employment. In particular, if you want to get a job in the United States as a foreigner, it is recommended not to be discouraged and apply a lot. The information we can obtain is limited, so even if we don't officially support visa issuance, sometimes visa issuance is supported depending on the situation, so knocking on the door here and there will increase your chances of getting a job. Also, if you are given an interview opportunity, it can be a practice for the next opportunity, so it is important to apply to many companies and have hands-on experience. □ Summary of interviews with HR representatives at major U.S. financial companies Q1. What is the status of foreign employment in your company? A1. Discrimination based on gender, nationality, and race is prohibited, and we do not have exact statistics on foreigners (visa holders). However, since our company does not officially currently offer visa sponsorships, we have U.S. citizens or visa holders who can work in the U.S. Personally, the high percentage of Asians in the IT department is noticeable. Q2. Is there a high demand for new employees? A2. In most cases, we prefer applicants with experience. However, if you have sufficient knowledge and experience in the relevant work through internships, volunteering, and club activities, I think freshly graduated job seekers will be able to make up for some weaknesses. Q3. What should I pay attention to during the application process? A3. A unique and well-organized cover letter is very important. It's a great way to highlight the strengths of an applicant that you can't tell your company about with your resume. Surprisingly, only a small number of applicants spend their time writing unique cover letters, which is not desirable. Even if the content of your resume is not that good, you can be a standout candidate with a cover letter. There's a saying that goes, "You can't judge by its cover." However, cover letters are very important because they determine your applicants' first impressions, just like the cover of a book. Q4. What are the main questions during the interview? A4. There's a common question not only for me but also for the financial community. Maybe, "Why this company? Why is this happening?" It will be necessary to prepare an answer that will make a strong impression. Personally, I recommend that you keep an interested eye on recent news or trends about the company. Q5. What would be some helpful advice you could give when conducting an interview? A5. You should not be afraid to ask questions. As a foreigner, if you listened to the interviewer incorrectly during the interview, it would be more advantageous to respectfully ask for another question and give the correct answer rather than to panic and give the wrong answer. Confidence is important in interviews, and the interviewer values confidence. After the interview, you often ask the applicant if he or she has any questions, and it would be a good idea to prepare one or two questions. It would be better if the questions revealed that the applicant is interested in the company and the industry. It would be better to avoid questions about salary or benefits. It would also be good to take some time to think about it for a while when you are asked too difficult questions. You can also get a good score because you will get a glimpse of your self-confidence in not being afraid of silence about the applicant who answers in the right direction. □ implications Work visa essential for working in the U.S - A short-term work visa is H1, which allows professionals to legally work in the United States for three years (extended by an additional three years and up to six years). A person with a bachelor's degree or higher or equivalent qualification may have a short-term employment in a professional job in the United States in relation to his or her major. - U.S. Government Gives More Opportunities to Professional Workers in 4 STEM Areas * S: Science T: Technology E: Engineering M: Mathematics - H1 비자 신청가능 직군의 예: Computer Programming, Software Engineering, Design, Merchandising, Production Advertising, Accounting, Logistics, Jewelry Design, Health Care, Architecture, Marketing, Hotel Management, Engineering 등으로 컴퓨터, 공학 관련 분야가 많음. - Promising jobs in the U.S. are IT/Computer, accounting for more than 80% of the recently approved H-1B visa jobs Although fewer companies provide visa sponsors, it is not impossible to get a job in the United States if acquisition of expertise in related fields, language learning, strategic support, and research on companies that want to apply are preceded. - It's important to set clear goals and build a relevant career ㅇ You can look for employment opportunities through headhunting companies. - The headhunting company does not require a fee from the job seeker, but receives a service fee when the recruiter hires a workforce. - Job hunting through headhunting companies has the advantage of not having an economic burden on job seekers, and especially those unfamiliar with the U.S. system will be able to get useful information through headhunting companies. - Since there are many Korean companies in the United States, the demand for Korean talent recruitment is still high. If you want to find employment in Korean companies in the United States, support through Korean headhunting companies may be advantageous Online job search required -It is desirable to actively contact headhunting companies and headhunters because recruitment through the introduction of acquaintances often occurs without official job announcements - Online employment sites, homepages of companies that want to get a job, and SNS should be used Aggressive interview preparation is essential - You must have sufficient prior knowledge of the company you are applying for. - It is very important to practice answering frequently asked questions in advance during interviews.
