初めまして。

アメリカで働きたい方のためのコンサルティングをしています。私は新潟県燕市の出身です。アメリカにわたり早22年がたとうとしています。一年半で帰国のつもりがこんなに長くなってしまいました。留学経験も何もなく渡米してしまいましたが本当にアメリカが肌に合っているようです。今回は故郷の皆様に何か出来ることがないかと思い投稿させて頂きました。少しでもお役に立てれば幸いです。

Is that right? ！
Is there a place where people say, “The hotel restaurant here is great!” ！??
(It’s okay if you’ve just heard about it ！ )

I think the only person making money at a restaurant is the owner.

At hotels—especially large, popular ones where the restaurant menus are pricey—they attract a decent number of customers, so

I think the hourly wage and tips aren’t bad either.

Instead of posting here where everyone can see it, I think you should use a message board where replies are sent only to the original poster.

A company run by a dictatorial CEO where employees in their 30s and 40s make up a small percentage of the workforce—the reason being there are no mid-level managers 🟰—is highly likely to be an exploitative workplace.

When you apply for a job, I think you should state your desired hourly wage.

Once, when I was assigned to a tour desk, I stated my desired hourly wage, and they agreed to it. Since the hourly wage at the time was $ 15, I asked for more than that.

In that case, my request was granted.

If they refuse to negotiate your hourly wage and simply offer the minimum wage, I think that’s a exploitative company.

If you have worked for a black company, are currently working for a black company, have been in a company where the black situation has been improved, or have filed a black situation 》(illegal ・ violation 》) with the DOL, please contact me to share your experience with black workplaces.

By the way, I am in a black company in California where PSL and split premium are not provided. I suspect that my co-workers are probably getting the same treatment. I don't see any sign of the situation improving …
Thank you in advance.

It’s not hard to imagine that …

if multiple people file a lawsuit, the company goes under, and other employees (who may not be in exploitative working conditions) end up unemployed …, this approach might be regrettable.

Can you recommend a recruitment agency for engineers living in the U.S. ？

Thank you very much.

I was recently looking for a side job and noticed what Uber drivers are like.
I only use them a few times a year, and when I do, I talk to some of the drivers and some say they are good, while others say they are not so good.
If anyone is actually an Uber driver, it would be great if you could tell us how many hours you operate and how much money you make and how you feel about it.

To put it bluntly, it sucks. You pay for your own insurance, gas to your destination and gas back home ． they deduct 20% or more ． drunks, non-smokers, overcrowding ． vomit, dirt, hurt yourself, blood ． old cars get complaints ．
I don't want to go sightseeing for free. ．
I heard you can lease one.

Ubering may be useful if you need cash now ？
or want to make a little money in your spare time. Or you're looking for a job.
I don't think it should be a regular job.
If it's the same driver job, I think it should be Access or something.
For Access Taxi, they pay $ 30 per passenger, regardless of distance or time required.
It is a shared ride, so up to 3 people can be picked up at a time. They are always loading and unloading and have a good turnover.
I'm a user, but looking at what the drivers make, I'd say they usually make $ 200 for a morning's work.
Of course you have to subtract expenses from that, but everyone says it's a good job and Uber is stupid.
You have the freedom to take the next day off if you want. For a full time employee, they pay $ 27 an hour ？ I think.

Restaurants were not allowed to eat or drink inside and you could not order inside, so you ordered at the entrance, waited outside
and when it was ready, you just got it and left.
Not many people went all the way to order, so they ordered with Uber Eats and had it delivered.
I was making about $2000 a week.

Outside of Oahu is not a problem.
What kind of jobs do you find in Hawaii other than tourism and catering ？
I work in IT, but I wonder if it is difficult to find a job other than tourism or catering if I live in Hawaii ？

If the above is possible, what level of English would be sufficient? If the above is possible, I would also appreciate it if you could tell me what level of English is sufficient for the job.

I'm sure there are lots of IT jobs out there.

My husband was also in IT networking, but he worked for
a university
a copier company
an airline
etc.

Many other hospitals, banks, etc. are also hiring.
If you go to indeed hawaii's jobs page and search for IT, you will see a lot of openings.

If you look at the job search page, you'll find all kinds of jobs.
If you have a workable visa, you can find any number of jobs. If you need visa support, you can often end up in tourism or food and beverage,,

I have not yet obtained US citizenship." ＝ Have you obtained a GC ？
Sorry to be realistic, but if you live in Japan and assume visa support, it is quite difficult to do anything other than work requiring Japanese language skills. There are quite a few Americans who are qualified to work in IT. Not only Hawaii residents, but even mainland US residents are attracted to IT jobs in Hawaii and apply for them. It is better to take people from the mainland who want to move to Hawaii with a good command of English than to provide visa support and have them move from Japan.

Conversely, jobs that make use of Japanese ＝ tourism ・ food and beverage, the income is often quite low, and if you emigrate from Japan relying only on Japanese, you will have a very difficult life.

Nice to meet you
I am an auto mechanic specializing in American cars in Japan for 26 years.
I would like to work as an auto mechanic in the U.S. in the near future.
I cannot give up my childhood dream.
However, I am having a hard time finding a visa sponsor.
If anyone is familiar with the auto maintenance industry in the US, I would appreciate any advice you could give me.
If anyone knows how to find a job and the process of getting a visa, I would appreciate it if you could share the information.

The problem is that we specialize in American cars ～.
Usually, visas are granted to people who have skills that American people don't have.
It is hard to believe that foreigners know more about American cars than Americans.
Sponsors might be willing to sponsor a store with many Japanese customers if they really need a mechanic who can speak Japanese. I don't think so.

Good evening, I live in US.
Are you applying for a Green Card ？
or are you married to a US Citizen and have them sponsor you for a Green Card
?
Not many companies issue Working Visa
so you could find a green card
sponsor while living in the US with a green card from expatriate, J1Visa.
There are people living in US in various patterns.
You could try contacting a temp agency ？.

Dear rxp and everyone
thank you for your replies.
I have applied for DV2026.
I will do some research.

In a manner of speaking, I am a mechanic, but I work in Japan （ specializing in difficult problems that dealers and other stores have been unable to solve, mainly new model vehicles ） mostly computer and electrical .
We are working in the same environment as the dealers in the home country, from the acquisition of information to the facilities, by contracting with a US manufacturer GM FORD CHRYSLER USNISSAN USTOYOTA.
If your skills are recognized, you may be able to work somewhat. Of course, I can do all mechanical repairs.
I run an automotive engineering company, so management relations are good, and I contact the US daily to gather information and import cars and parts.
My English is at an everyday conversational level and I am training with a dedicated teacher.

Also, you may want to call or Email Japanese car companies directly
.
There are many Japanese people in Hawaii, so there is a demand for people who can speak both Japanese and English.
There are always Japanese men at Japanese car companies.

I have completed my J1 training and am now back in Japan and looking for a company that can support my E2VISA from Japan.
My question is, are there any requirements in terms of age and work experience to switch from J1 VISA to E2 VISA? ？
For J1 VISA, 5 years of experience in food and beverage including part-time job as a student was required.
I myself had no problem because I had more than 5 years of restaurant experience, but I have heard that there are some people who have less restaurant experience who have changed their career history to 5 years.
I wonder if it is possible to renew my E2VISA with more than 5 years of experience in food and beverage ？
I would like to know if there is anyone who is familiar with E2VISA support and is currently working with E2VISA ！ Thank you very much. Please ！

There is no age requirement, but it is difficult if you are too young. This is because the qualities of being able to manage in the same position as a manager are questioned.
If you have several years of experience as a restaurant manager or the like, I think you will be safe.

Japalace can afford to give you E2
even if you don't want it
and the owners of Japalace in Hawaii
are seriously short of staff
and want you to come tomorrow to be honest, I'd like you to come tomorrow but the benefits and hours are not that great.

There are a lot of 22 and 23 year olds in management positions at all workplaces
However, the treatment and hours are not as good … Hey … You get the picture ？
We let them live in Hawaii so they have to sign slave contracts. I know, right?
Yeah, I know, I know, I know, I know.

It's up to you to climb out of it ！
I wish you the best of luck.
