Hello, also new here. I am trying to apply for a position in the US. I'm located in Finland nowadays, so I want to check what is more important for the recruitment process, CV or resume or the cover letter? In Europe is all about the cover letter, cv’s are rarely considered in the first glimpse.
Thanks!

CV/resume is required. Cover letters are often optional, and according to many, a waste of time.

Do you need visa sponsorship? It seems that can be the biggest dealbreaker depending on the employer.

Thanks for your reply. And yes, I need visa sponsorship. However, the job ad does not have any requirements regarding that. Others have that sentence “you need to be entitled to work in the US”

Hi, ladies. How long has it taken you to find a new job?

I’m currently on the hunt for a new job and I’m feeling really utterly defeated.

I’m not sure if I’m doing anything wrong or if there is more being done behind the scenes that have nothing to do with me. Either way, I’m getting frustrated and my productivity in my current position is slacking as a result.
