From above discussions, y'all mean I can't apply if I had E8 in core mathematics? I've furthered tho, I'm offering diploma IT

You need a pass in both maths and English. E8 in maths doesn't look good. But with your diploma in IT, I don't know if it can be of any help to your case.

Congrats on the move! Some basics for jobs :
(1) look at how a typical US resume is formatted (especially, brief) and follow that. Make sure to put somewhere at the top that you are legally authorized to work/green card holder
(2) a lot of job applications go through a software filter first. Make sure your cover letter and resume include the key words of what they are looking for, per job
(3) are you on LinkedIn? There is a lot of job “spam” through LinkedIn but it can also be very useful. I do know people who have been recruited for good jobs through their LinkedIn profiles.
(4) be patient. The jobs market is big, but there are also a lot of applicants. It can take new immigrants many rounds of sending in applications before someone bites. The good news is that once you have some US experience, it becomes easier to get on to the next job.
(5) Be flexible. Many new immigrants have to take a step back on the career ladder to start working here. If you’re lucky you won’t, but you may need to.


Good luck!

No, from the instructions “Work Experience: If you are qualifying with work experience, you must have two years of experience in the last five years, in an occupation which, by U.S. Department of Labor definitions, requires at least two years of training or experience that is designated as Job Zone 4 or 5, classified in a Specific Vocational Preparation (SVP) rating of 7.0 or higher. ”

A barber is job zone 3 and SVP 6.0 to <7.0 https://www.onetonline.org/link/summary/39-5011.00 so it does not qualify.

Do you have a high school certificate?

Your past posts also say you are a veterinary assistant and a barber. Quite a variety, but none of what you’ve posted seems to qualify. You do realize you will have to show proper evidence of the experience you have gained at the required level for the right amount of time in order to qualify on work experience?
