banking job opp for indian

Is anybody from india and working here in banks?

Hi,

Yes, I am from India and work in a credit union here in San Jose.

Can you let us all know how the recruitment procedure works and what are the qualifications needed?

hai,

Even i wanted to know what is the process and how to do we get into bank jobs in US. Both my self and hubby are bankers in dubai now. How do we apply from here ?

thanks in advance

Hello ladies,

Regarding job here, I responded to a newspaper ad and was called for interview. although i did not have any experience in the US, they liked my experience in India and offered me the job and also sponsored H1 visa for me. If you have a US work permit you can apply for the jobs directly - even if you do not then apply and ask if they will sponsor you. If you have the right qualifications and experience they may agree. my back ground is in marketing (MBA) and I had about 5 years experience in India.
Brindha - as you are outside the US, you will need some company to sponsor you or your spouse for a H1 visa , or you could try for a transfer through your bank there and come here on a L1 visa. the other alternative is to come here on a tourist visa and then apply for jobs - that may be easier as most employers will want to interview you face to face before giving you a job offer.
Let me know if you have any further questions, hope this helps

One gud thing is getting bank jobs is not tough once u have a right qualification and experience . But now should think abt how to get into US , since we dont know anyone there ...

haii mythreyi
to which credit union you r working?
how about the online career sites like monster careerbuilder?
do u know any of your friend working in LA. i have also finshed MBA (marketing and finance specialisation).Got my work permit last month and now working for H&R block as seasonal tax proffessional. want to apply for some full time job in banks that why i asked u?IF U know any body here please refer i can contact them

Anusha,

I work with Meriwest Credit union. I do not know of any friends in LA who work there. You could post your resume on monster etc and you may get calls from employers. As you already have a work permit it should be easy to get a job.

Brindha - yes my credit union does have an investment / treasury dept but I don't think there are any openings currently. Also we do not hire without a face to face interview, it will be very difficult for you to get a job here unless you are here. getting a H1 visa is also not that easy now. maybe one of you could come here first and try for a job.

Good luck to both of you..
