I don't really mind starting a job with low pay or temp job. My confusion is that i don't know how to answer the question: "Why do you want to work here/ why are you interested in this position?" when i apply for some position that has nothing to do with my education background. I feel that the employers kind of know that i will leave that position once i find a position that matches my qualification. I don't know if i should say "I need a job, please."

unfortunately, relocation is not a solution for me. my hubby has a job that he likes at where we live and his whole family also live somewhere nearby. i think, one person works is a lot better than both of us look for a job, at least for my situation.

job hunting is definitely a huge part for us chinese SOs to adjust in this new country. At the beginning, i didn't think it would be a problem for me to find a job because i was well educated. but i'm completely wrong. i'm so not prepared for this tough job hunting experience. a couple of months ago, i started a post about my (i'm a Chinese SO )confusion of job hunting. No luck during the past few monthes. i'm still looking for a job. a job that i like, i can apply what i've learned from college. but without industry experience, limited by the geographic location, i don't have much to choose. my depression is the main problem that my hubby and i have to deal with from time to time. my hubby is always very encouraging. but sometimes this just makes me feel more guilty for not working. my hubby tried to tell me that my depression really hurt him. i want him to understand that i feel so lucky and happy to be with him and my depression is only because of the job hunting. i also try not to be so upset. but i just can help myself sometimes. i don't know if this is only my personal problem. but still i want to share it with you here.

It is so nice to share the feeling with all of you here:)

thank you all for the experience and encouragement. my hubby is very understanding, which is very important for me.

yes, you are right. I live in South OC, CA. There are lots of companies. but for all the job openings that i'm interested in, they require at least 2-5 year's experience. I don't have any working experience I just graduated in Feb and then I came here to get married. so...

Hi, I got my EAD card at the end of last month (no green card yet) and started looking for a job. I have EE master degree but no working experience. I'm limited to search for a local job because i want to stay with my husband, which is very obvious. up to now, there is no positive result. i'm a little upset and feel frustrated. maybe it is still not time to be frustrated. i'm wondering, if it is really difficult for the chinese wives to find a job?what kind of jobs do your chinese wives have?

Thanks a lot, guys!

that's a good way to do it on GC interview. but here i have another question. if i could successfully change my name on the GC, do i still need to change my name on the marriage certificate? thanks!

Hi, when we applied for the marriage license, I (Chinese) used my maiden name on the form (at that time, we didn't know that this would be my married name on the marriage certificate). Now we want to change my last name to my hubby's. Does any one have a clue how to do this? (My AOS is still under process.) Thanks a lot.
