The real problem with job hunting in the US is that employers REFUSE to pay livable wages.
It's ridiculous. I'm currently in contact with a recruiter who said they would send my resumes out to companies and get back to me if any want to interview me. Well, I got some jobs back.
Results:
Texas: An $18-$20/hr office admin job (no thanks)
Also Texas: A purchasing agent job for $20/hr (also no thanks)
Indianapolis: An inside sales position offering $40k-$45k depending on experience.
All of these jobs prefer having Japanese/English bilingual skills ON TOP OF the skills required to perform the jobs... for a measly $20/hr. No matter how bad I want to get out of the dumpsterfire that is Idaho right now I'm not going to pack up and leave only to end up in the exact same situation I'm currently in, and likely end up worse off. It makes no sense.
This is not the first time this has happened with recruiters. All I ask for is a livable wage. Doesn't happen. I'm not moving half-way across the country for $20/hr. It'd be cheaper to get a basic English teaching job in Japan and I'd save more money given the CoL over there too.
I don't know why I try with recruiters anymore. I think I'm done job shopping in the US and am honestly just going to go back to Japan at this point. At least over there I can actually save money on even $30k/year...
