When I was an English teacher, I knew alot of great companies that hired English speakers. I had access to many high level managers that where looking for good English speakers.
Your university teachers/professors will know LOTS of people and companies that hire English speaks. Use their networks. Many young students never asks me to help them find work or good jobs.
Ask your American/English speaking friends to coach you to do a foreign style interview.
Ask them to coach you how to speak and give good answers to a foreign hiring manager.
Ask them to proof read and format your resume in Western style to look good when a hiring manager reads it. These things are very valuable.
Practice interviewing verbally with your English speaking friends to practice good English interview skills. Practice good body language, good intonation, confidence and verbal speed during and interview. Make a script the first time and learn from it. Review it 10x or more before an interview.
Go to your city hall and ask if there is an American Chamber of Commerce (American Business group). Also, Canadian, Australian, English Chamber of Commerce.
Go to their monthly meetings and talk to the local business owners in your area/city.
These business owners are great resources for information and know ALOT about foreign businesses and possible jobs.
Join a local English speaking theater group, making dramatic plays in English:
Many great English speakers join these groups: doctors, lawyers, airline staff....all for fun.
These people all come together to have fun and are super good resources of information. You can learn ALOT very quickly from just listening and asking simple questions in these groups.
Good luck
