I'm currently navigating the job market after moving from Brazil to Massachusetts about two years ago. I graduated with a degree in Civil Engineering and have a Green Card, so visa sponsorship isn't an issue for me. My background includes around 10 years of experience in quality management, process improvement, and project management, primarily in the construction sector. I've been applying for roles like Project Engineer, Project Coordinator, and Assistant Project Manager for about three months now, but unfortunately, I haven't landed a single interview. I'm at a crossroads and seeking advice on whether pursuing a U.S. Master's degree in Civil Engineering or Construction Management would be worthwhile, considering it could cost me $20k–30k. Alternatively, I’m contemplating focusing on certifications like CAPM, PMP, or OSHA that might enhance my employability. I have questions about the impact of my foreign degree on my job search and whether I should continue pushing for positions or invest in further education first. I'm eager to hear from anyone who has been in a similar situation or has insights on breaking into project or construction management with an international degree.
