In California, Colorado, Washington, New York, Hawaii, Maryland, Washington D.C., Illinois, Minnesota, New Jersey, Vermont and Massachusetts, many employers must include a good-faith pay range in job postings. Thresholds and details differ by state. JOBnaru™ flags postings in these states that show no range — a reminder, not a legal finding.
Post-completion OPT gives F-1 graduates up to 12 months of work authorization in their field, and STEM graduates can add a 24-month STEM OPT extension if the employer uses E-Verify and signs a training plan. Your clock matters — OPT allows up to 90 days of unemployment, STEM OPT up to 150 in total — so plan your applications and timing early.
Korean manufacturers have built some of the largest factories in the U.S. — semiconductor fabs in Texas and Indiana, car plants in Alabama and Georgia, and battery and solar plants in Georgia, Michigan, Tennessee and Arizona. Here is where they are, what kinds of jobs they hire for, and how to find their current openings on JOBnaru™.
A real employer will not ask you to pay to get a job, deposit a check and send money back, buy equipment with your own money for reimbursement later, or give your Social Security number and bank details before a verified offer. JOBnaru™ never charges job seekers. If a job looks like a scam, stop, check the company yourself, and report it to us and to the FTC.
Employers post on JOBnaru™ for free for 30 days — no sign-up needed first. Every post gets an automatic check, and clean posts go live right away. Before the 30 days end, we email a one-tap button to keep it up 30 more days, free. To reach more people, you can buy labeled top placement — Premium Plus ($500/30 days), Power Link ($450) or Photo listing ($99), each per 30 days. Write a clear post with a pay range and no discriminatory wording.
JOBnaru™ is free for job seekers. Start at the job list, narrow it with the state, category, visa and Korean-language filters, save the jobs you like and turn your search into a daily email alert. If you are not sure what to search for, ask Ask JOBnaru™ in Korean or English.
The H-1B lets a U.S. employer hire a foreign professional in a specialty occupation, but most new H-1Bs are limited by an annual cap of 85,000 and a registration lottery held each spring. Universities and certain nonprofit research employers are cap-exempt. The employer — not the worker — files, and rules and fees changed in 2025, so always check USCIS before you plan.
A U.S. resume is short, achievement-focused and leaves out personal details that Korean resumes often include — photo, age, birth date, family and marital status. Show your Korean ability as a concrete skill, quantify results, and prepare for behavioral interviews with STAR answers. Here is a practical checklist for both English and Korean versions.
