Question
A pleasant day to you sir! I am a newly licensed criminologist in Philippines. I am looking forward to serve any Foreign Law Enforcement Agencies in Western Countries.

I am currently working as police beat reporter of a daily English newspaper in Davao City(southern part of Mindanao, Philippines)the Mindanao Times, working for about 4 years. I have also experienced 2-year police beat reporter of a local radio station here, the Radio Ukay.

I also practiced computer programming sir, can drive two to ten-wheeled vehicles and able to speak and understand five different local languages here and two foreign, the English and and a little bit of Chinese.

Sir, I will be very grateful if you could help find a list or just a job opportunity that does not require its country's citizenship during application. Sir, any government-owned agency will do, private detective agencies, a security firm of a private company, work regarding forensic.

Thank your in advance sir..
More power and Godbless!

Answer
Good Morning Guy,

There are several jobsites that you can visit and search for jobs related to criminology, security, law enforcement and other related topics. But there is no one or two websites that will cover everything for you.

The first one I would recommend is USAjobs.gov, most of the jobs there are going to require that you be a US citizen at some may be open to people who have working visas, or green cards that allow employment in the United States. Another website I highly recommend is monster.com where you can create and post a resume that people in the businesses who are searching for someone are able to search and find. If you create a good resume with the proper terminology, those people who are looking for qualified applicants will find your resume and contact you.

If you're looking for law enforcement you have to understand that most jobs in the United States at least require that you be a US citizen to be a part of law enforcement.

So I suggest checking those two websites and creating resumes on both.
