If you want to successfully move to the United States and stay there to work, you need to solve two important tasks: find housing and at least roughly outline the place of work. Well, if the profession involves removal and an interview, then you still need to look for housing at least first. Not everyone has close friends or relatives in America to help them get settled, and many don’t know where to start.
In the partner material with the BAZAR.club bulletin board, its experts tell how to cope in the USA without outside help and which resources you should look for the necessary information quickly, efficiently and for free.

BAZAR.club
BAZAR.club is a popular free message board in the US for expats. The portal was originally created as a place for communication, assistance and information exchange among emigrants from Ukraine in the States.
“We have positioned this platform as ‘the most visited bulletin board for ours in the US.’ Over time, the project grew into an international resource used by Native Americans and emigrants from other countries.”– BAZAR.club creators tell.
The resource covers almost all the needs of a person who needs to settle in the country. Here you can find:
- work – vacancies in all cities of the country, offers are conveniently grouped by category, you can immediately view only the city that interests you.
- Housing in the USA – rent an apartment or house, any city in the USA.
- Service or specialist in the voluminous catalog of businesses and services.
- Information about all events in any city (poster), and life in the country (blog).
The site also has a lot of information about the work of truck drivers: nuances of employment, advice and useful selections. All ads – about work, rent or business advertising – are checked by the moderator. This allows you to almost completely weed out fraudsters and dubious employers.
Craigslist
Craigslist is the most popular classifieds site among American Internet users. It is a large multi-language platform with no registration required except for a few US cities. You can find anything on Craigslist: furniture, clothes, but especially housing. Ads are published by owners, this allows you to search for a house without intermediaries and commissions.
The site has convenient filters: you immediately specify the search region and housing requirements: price, area, duration, whether pets are allowed. New ads appear almost every minute. From the disadvantages of the platform:
- there is a risk of running into fraudsters, since no one checks the data;
- not the most modern and convenient user interface.
Care.com
Саre.com is a US job board for job search and help. The site is focused on the social component and helps to find work in the following areas:
- babysitting;
- care for the elderly and people with disabilities;
- housekeeping, help around the house;
- tutoring;
- pet care.
A big plus of the platform is that biographical data of employers and potential employees are checked here. This minimizes the risk of fraud. Care.com is partially paid. You can register and view vacancies for free, but if you want to see the employer’s contacts, you need to pay a subscription.
Advice from experts to those looking for work and housing
BAZAR.club experts give some tips that will help you increase your chances and not be disappointed in moving:
- There is a shortage of vacant apartments and houses in big cities. Morally prepare to fight for the object you like, and consider 5-10 options at once.
- American employers rarely respond to letters and messages immediately. That’s how it’s done here, so start looking for a job before you physically cross the country’s border.
- Build communication correctly. If the vacancies indicated a better communication channel, use it. Attempting to communicate in another way may backfire.
Use the proposed sites, heed the advice of experts – and your work move will go smoother than you expect.
