USA Career Resources

USA Career Resources

(a subsidiary of GoinGlobal) was established in 2001 as a woman owned/operated enterprise. Today, this first-to-market career tool is the world leader in online location specific employment resources.

Over the past two decades, the company has provided career and employment information for more than 1,000 of the leading higher education institutions around the globe, multinational corporations, non-profits, and government agencies, such as the US Department of State, where Founder and President Mary Anne Thompson was tapped to lead the Department's Government Employment Initiative (GEI) to facilitate work opportunities for thousands of diplomatic "trailing spouses."

In 2016, the American Library Association/Library Journal reviewed USA Career Resources/GoinGlobal as a "must have" research resource.

USA Career Resources include expert advice for more than 47 US locations (and via GoinGlobal to another 70 worldwide locations) on such topics as: employment trends, industry projections by sector, work permit regulations, professional associations, social networking groups, resume guidelines, interview and cultural advice. Our proprietary/copyrighted research is constantly updated and gathered by local career experts.

Listings of both local and multinational employers are also part of the online system, in addition to a robust job and internship search system featuring more than 16 million worldwide opportunities. Postings can be searched in the local language, as well as in English. A proprietary HlB visa search engine, which identifies American companies who have historically sought to hire US-educated international talent, is another feature of the USA Career Resources service.
