When one of our contributing Members is interested in your profile, they can reach out to you directly through our Career Center.

*By applying to this service, you agree that the FACC California will keep your personal data and resume during three months. Please note your profile will remain available on our Candidate board for three months; it will then be automatically deleted.

Below are a few tips for building your American resume as well as preparing for an interview:

• Note that it is not possible to work in the US without a work permit. If you are not an American citizen or American resident (Green card holder), you will require a working visa. We encourage you to clearly state your status (whichever it is) on your CV.

• Announce your professional objectives as a way to introduce yourself to a potential employer: identify the direction you want your career to take and articulate this very clearly in all communications (resume, cover letter, interviews). A potential employer will be drawn towards profiles that show ambition, focus and logic based on the candidate’s trajectory and experience to date.

• Use a US appropriate layout for your CV (check examples on Google for reference). The amount of personal information on CVs is reduced compared to France, mostly in reaction to discrimination laws. We recommend you do not include a photo and do not specify your age.

• Be concise and relevant: make use of bullet points to describe your mission and achievements for each role.

• Heavy emphasis is put on recent responsibilities, experiences and soft skills (team player, keen sportsman, charity work, etc.) in addition to academic achievements.

• Include awards and honors

• Demonstrating initiative, self-confidence and leadership are important topics discussed during interviews.

• Don’t allow spelling mistakes: ensure you make use of spelling tools and get someone else you trust to proof the content

• Don’t leave any gaps in your employment history unexplained

• Don’t provide inaccurate or misleading information

• References are an important element of the recruitment process. Good employers and recruiters will use informal references from their network in addition to references provided by the candidate.
