Assisting Potential Refugees Prepare for Opportunities in the USA

The recent executive order issued by the White House to assist Afrikaners seeking to relocate to the USA presents a significant opportunity for many individuals and families looking for a fresh start. However, transitioning to a new country comes with various challenges, one of the most critical being securing employment. A well-prepared Resume (CV) is essential in making a strong first impression on potential employers in the United States.

Why a Strong Resume Matters

A Resume is more than just a summary of work experience—it is a marketing tool that highlights one’s skills, qualifications, and achievements. In the USA, employers place a high value on clarity, professionalism, and relevance in job applications. Given the differences in Resume formats between South Africa and the USA, it is crucial to adapt one’s Resume to meet American standards.

Key Differences Between a South African CV and a U.S. Resume

To increase the chances of securing employment, applicants must be aware of the differences between a South African CV and a U.S. Resume:

  • Length: U.S. Resumes are typically one to two pages long, while South African CVs tend to be longer.

  • Personal Information: Unlike South African CVs, U.S. Resumes do not include personal details such as marital status, gender, or a photograph.

  • Work Experience: Employers in the U.S. focus more on achievements and measurable results rather than just listing duties and responsibilities.

  • Skills Section: Highlighting key skills relevant to the job market is crucial in U.S. Resumes.

  • References: U.S. employers typically do not require references to be listed on the Resume; instead, they ask for them separately if needed.

Industries with High Employment Demand in the USA

For those relocating under the new executive order, several industries have a high demand for skilled professionals, including:

  • Information Technology (IT)

  • Healthcare and Nursing

  • Engineering and Construction

  • Finance and Accounting

  • Logistics and Supply Chain

  • Skilled Trades (e.g., Electricians, Plumbers, Mechanics)

  • Education and Social Work

  • Small Business & Entrepreneurship Opportunities
