I all, I recently moved to the US (Florida) and I have been applying to open positions for months now, yet I haven't gotten a single interview, I usually check for positions on Linkedin, Indeed, etc and try to make my resume slightly more alligend with the specific opening, but nothing has worked so far. I would appreciate any tips!

thanks!, I will try doing cover letters for each job via a promp in ChatGPT, sounds like a good idea to leverage AI tools.

The job market is just really that bad right now. And the thing is, Florida isn't that hot of a market for finance jobs so what few finance jobs you see get swarmed with hundreds of applications and get filled quickly. Especially in a market like this. You might want to move to NYC, Boston, Philly, or Chicago. Also better to live in those places to network in finance these days which is the best way to get a job.
If you're going to use AI tools, don't just copy and paste it directly on to your resume. Make sure you paraphrase and/or change the wording around. Some companies have ways of checking and knowing if its AI.

Thanks for the feedback!, unfortunately I do have to be based in Florida due to my wife's job, in your experience are fully remote positions in NYC, Boston etc a thing?

You didn’t bother to tell us what industry you’re in. Can you relay the city that you’ve moved to?

What does finance mean that can mean 100 different roles. Please explain.

Hello, Thank you for sharing your question. Moving to a new country and job market can be challenging, even with strong experience. As a Vice President in Implementation Analysis, you likely have valuable leadership and analytical skills, but sometimes resumes need to be adjusted to better match U.S. expectations. Beyond applying on platforms like LinkedIn and Indeed, try focusing more on networking, tailoring your resume with measurable results, and connecting directly with recruiters or hiring managers in your field.

When I faced a similar challenge, I reached out to a team at alfredpetersonhiringteam/gmail/com. They helped me better position my experience and improve my approach. With their support, I was able to land a role as a human resources manager. It may be worth connecting with them for extra guidance. Wishing you success in your job search!

thanks appreciate the comment!, like you say, I feel like the job market in the US works via connections instead of just applying to hundreads of positions.

"Thanks for the feedback!, unfortunately I do have to be based in Florida due to my wife's job, in your experience are fully remote positions in NYC, Boston etc a thing?"

(Replying to you this way, since for some strange reason, Glassdoor doesn't allow replies to replies)

The old school big banks and investment firms are not 100% remote anymore. Hybrid at best. You might want to try fintech, family office, hedge funds, blockchain, trading, startups, etc. Check out wellfound jobs or efinancecareers for those 100% remote startup positions.

Thanks for the tip!, I will open my scope to that
