Becoming verified on the e-JAM platform isn't just about getting a badge next to your name. It's about creating a professional online presence that attracts potential employers. Through the verification process, e-JAM gets to understand your aspirations, your targeted job role, and your professional background. This process is designed to ensure that the information on your resume is accurate and aligned with your career goals.

One of the most significant advantages of becoming verified is the assurance it provides to both job seekers and employers. Verified profiles reflect accurate job titles, precise employment dates, and detailed job duties. This accuracy ensures that your resume aligns with the positions you're applying for, making your applications more relevant and compelling to employers.

Confidence for Employers:
Employers are more likely to engage with verified candidates because they have the confidence that the information on the candidate's resume is accurate. Verified profiles help establish a level of trust, which is crucial in today's competitive job market. When your potential employer sees that you've gone the extra mile to verify your information, it signals a commitment to professionalism and honesty.

Verification Questions to Consider:

• Job Title: Is your job title accurate and reflective of your role?

• Start and End Date: Are the dates of your employment precise?

• Salary: Is your stated salary in line with industry standards?

• Job Duties: Are your job duties detailed and accurate?

• Reasons for Termination or Leaving: Is the information about why you left your previous job correct and verifiable?

• Social Media and Email: Is your online presence professional and clean?

• Updated Resume: Is your resume up-to-date and aligned with your career goals?

• Criminal Record: Have you provided information about any relevant criminal record?

Your Path to Success:
Investing in the effort to become verified is an investment in your professional future. It's a tangible way to demonstrate your commitment to accuracy, professionalism, and the pursuit of your career goals. So, why wait? Become verified today and open the door to a more promising future.

As we approach a new H-2B season, it’s essential for jobseekers to fully understand the program and manage their expectations. Here’s everything you need to know about the benefits, realities, and responsibilities that come with the H-2B Program.

 

 

 

The Benefits of the H-2B Program:

 

- Employer-Covered Costs: Your program fees, travel, and visa expenses are typically covered by the employer.

 

- Visa Extensions: You can extend your stay for up to three years by securing consecutive assignments.

- Reapplication Opportunities: As long as you maintain a good record, you can reapply indefinitely.

 

 

 

Important Realities

 

- Limited Visas: Only 33,000 visas are issued per season (Winter and Summer), a fraction of the demand.

 

- Competition: Many applicants are vying for a small number of positions, with landscapers being the most sought-after occupation—not hospitality workers as many believe.

 

- Flexibility Matters: Being picky about job location or type lowers your chances of placement.
Responsibilities of Applicants

 

 

To improve your chances of securing an H-2B job, it’s important to follow these guidelines:

 

- Complete Registration: Simply emailing your resume won’t suffice. Register on our platform and upload your updated resume.

 

- Update Your Resume: Employers won’t review outdated or incomplete resumes. Include relevant experience, employer names, and accurate dates.

 

- Meet Qualifications: Ensure you meet the job requirements. U.S. regulations prohibit hiring workers who don’t fit the job description.

 

- Understand Job Details: Before accepting a job, clarify housing costs, living conditions, and transportation logistics.

 

- Be Honest: If you’re exploring multiple job offers, inform us. Accepting a job and later backing out wastes time and opportunities for others.

 

- Commit to the Role: Leaving early or quitting due to overtime concerns reflects poorly on you and other workers from your country. Maintain professionalism and fulfill your commitments.
Avoid Paying Placement Fees: The H-2B program is free for workers. Paying illegal fees to agencies can result in visa cancellation and legal issues. Be cautious of scams.

 

 

Why Doing the Right Thing Matters

 

- The H-2B Program is a privilege and an incredible opportunity. Employers invest heavily in the process, and not all petitions are approved due to high competition and regulatory caps. If you’re fortunate enough to secure a job, strive to leave a positive impression by:

 

- Working hard and staying reliable.

- Maintaining professionalism and integrity.

- Supporting the program’s reputation to benefit future jobseekers.

 

Securing an H-2B position requires effort and responsibility from both jobseekers and agencies. At e-JAM, we are committed to helping you succeed, but we ask that you value this opportunity and approach it with respect and professionalism.

 

 

Let’s make this H-2B season a success—together!

Step 1

First, log into your e-JAM Jobseekers’ profile and click the “Jobs” tab in the tool bar, on the left-hand side of the screen.

 

Step 2

By clicking this, you will be redirected to the list of jobs e-JAM has available for you. 

 

Step 3

Click on a Job Title that you are interested in and qualified for from the list of options available to you.  The job you apply for must reflect the skills and experience outlined in your resume.

 

Step 4

When you narrow down your desired job, take the time to thoroughly read the Job Description and the Job Details so you can determine whether it's a good fit for you.

 

Step 5

After reading the Job Description and the Job Details, you decide, based upon your professional history and qualifications, to apply - scroll down and click the “Apply For This Job” button

 

Step 6

A pop up window will appear, prompting you to answer a few questions; answer them to the best of your ability. Your answers should be applicable to the job you are applying for and highlighting the skills specific for the position according to the Job Description and the Job Details.

 

 

If you are applying for more than one job or have experience in more than one area of industry, it is best to create individual resumes for each of your professional histories. Doing this helps to better organize your professional experience in different industries, instead of putting them all in one resume.  Therefore, we recommend labeling and saving each resume with a title that illustrates its contents when you upload them into your e-JAM Jobseekers’ profile under the "Resume" tab.

 

 

If you have resumes already saved into your e-JAM Jobseeker profile, this pop-up window will give you the option to select one of them from the drop down menu, “Select your resume”; rather than, uploading the files by clicking “Browse...” beneath the prompt “Upload your resume”.

 

 

Then, you are asked to provide three brief examples from your resume; this is your chance to show the hiring manager you are a match for the position you are applying for. Make sure you highlight key skills and experiences listed in your resume that are relevant to the job description.  This is the first thing employers see when you apply for a job, so make sure it is professionally done and demonstrates why you are more qualified for the position compared to your competition.

 

 

Cover letters are not required, but if done correctly, it helps to give an employer a more complete first impression of who you are and why hiring you for the position in question will be an asset to their company.

If you are applying for more than one job, have experience in more than one area of industry, or for any other reason, it is best to create individual cover letters for each of the job applications you will be completing. Therefore, we recommend labeling and saving each cover letter with a title that illustrates its contents when you upload them into your e-JAM Jobseekers’ profile under the "Cover Letters" tab.

 

 If you have cover letters already saved into your e-JAM Jobseeker profile, this pop-up window will give you the option to select one of them from the drop down menu, “Select your cover letter”.

 

 

Upon registration, especially if you are applying for an overseas position, it is important you upload all your documents, such as: any certifications, references, and a copy of your passport, and/or government ID card into your e-JAM Jobseeker profile ahead of time. We recommend labeling and saving each document with a title that illustrates its contents when you upload them into your e-JAM Jobseekers’ profile under the "Documents" tab. 

 

If not, you will have to upload these documents every time you fill out an application.  Therefore, uploading these documents ahead of time will help your e-JAM hiring experts expedite your application.

If you have uploaded your documents into your e-JAM Jobseeker profile, as mentioned before, you will be able to select them from the drop-down menu provided beneath the section titled "Select your document:"

 

Finally, you will complete the Captcha at the bottom of the application and then click the “Apply” button.

 

Step 7

This will immediately redirect you to the “Applied Jobs” tab back into your e-JAM Jobseeker profile, illustrating to you all of the jobs you have applied to up until this point.

 

 

Step 8

If you check the email you used to create your e-JAM Jobseeker profile with, you will have received an email detailing your next steps in terms of your application.
