I'm a soon to be graduating Computer Science student who is looking to work internationally if possible. I have had a few interviews with German companies, but have had very little luck with companies based in America. I am looking for some general advice about the steps that other individuals have gone through to make this happen.

Part of the reason I seem to be having difficulties is I often do not even make it past the original screening forms. One question that often comes up is "Are you eligible/authorized to work in the United States" to which I check no because I do not currently have a work Visa. However, I feel like this line of wording can be somewhat ambiguous because I am eligible to get a work Visa, I just do not currently have one. Would it be considered dishonest to say I am eligible or does that phrasing strictly refer to already possessing a work visa.

Besides that what are some of the best resources for finding positions for Junior Developers international, I find positions here and there on various job boards, but I was wondering if there is a refined method to attaining this information. Perhaps there just aren't a lot of these types of positions, but I would like to know if there are.

Hey HN, I'm a Junior Developer about to finish my BSc and for various reasons I'm looking to find work in a foreign area.

I'm a Canadian citizen and I am looking towards either working in Germany or California.

I'm fully willing to relocate and I'm primarily looking for positions in Web Development.

I was wondering what sort of hurdles and steps I might need to take in order to achieve this goal beyond simply bolstering my resume. What are the best channels/means of finding companies willing to hire international employees.

I realize this might be an unrealistic goal and I would appreciate peoples perspective on that as well. I could just work in Toronto but I would like to take the opportunity to travel somewhere new and challenging to work while I'm young. Ideally I'd be working in an area where the tech culture is booming.
