I'd greatly value constructive guidance.

I'm in South Africa, and currently the only way to emigrate to America is either by paying $900 000.00, or by receiving an offer of employment.

Hence I'm following the employment route.

Now, what I don't have in degrees, I have several diplomas, plenty of experience and common sense, all of which I'm completely honest about in my CV/Resume.

I've applied for a few positions, but can't seem to get across the value that I will add, and I feel it's bypassed.

Naturally, with me not being a born American, I'm sure affects this too, but I will still keep trying, and trying.

How can I state that any company would be incredibly fortunate to have me join them?

Many thanks.

Have you thought about having a professional resume writer look over your CV/resume?

One option to consider: could you find employment with a large multi-national employer in your home country and use that as a launchpad for an international placement? It might be easier to convince a company that has already seen your great work to put forth the sponsorship you need. Good luck!
