Guides for Internationally Educated Job Seekers

Plain-language guides to help you make informed decisions before you spend money. Each guide cites its sources and states what it cannot tell you.

• Credential Evaluation for U.S. Jobs: When You Need One and What to Ask First

  A credential evaluation is not required for every U.S. job. Before you pay for one, ask the employer or licensing board that will receive it exactly what they accept.

• How to List a Foreign Degree on a U.S. Resume Truthfully

  Write your degree exactly as it was awarded, add a plain English translation, and only mention a U.S. equivalency if you actually hold an evaluation that states it.

This guide is preliminary information, not an official credential evaluation, legal advice or immigration advice. It does not guarantee employment, admission or licensing. Confirm requirements with the organization that will receive your documents.
