You arrived. Now comes the part nobody warned you about.
A new city is its own kind of language. The streets, the systems, the unwritten rules about how things work here — none of it came with instructions. Whether you moved from another country or another state, the disorientation is real, and a pamphlet doesn’t fix it. Compass Media is something different — a guide that stays with you, adapts to what you actually need, and walks alongside you until you find your footing in Omaha.
Résumé Creation & Job Search Assistance
Most résumés written for other countries don’t work here. The format is different, the length is different, and what hiring managers look for is different. We create a professional résumé tailored to the U.S. job market — and we don’t stop there. We guide you through where and how to apply for jobs in Omaha, help you understand what employers expect, and stay involved in the process with you.
LinkedIn Profile Setup & Optimization
In the U.S. job market, LinkedIn is not optional — it is often the first thing a recruiter sees before they ever read your résumé. We build or improve your profile from the ground up: professional summary, skills, experience, and photo guidance. The goal is a profile that reflects your strengths and puts you in front of the right people.
City Integration Orientation
Omaha has a logic to it — neighborhoods, services, schools, healthcare — but learning that logic on your own takes time most newcomers don’t have. This is a personalized, one-on-one session built around your situation. Where you live, what you need, what stage you’re at. We cover the essential resources, explain how things work here, and answer the questions you didn’t know you were allowed to ask.
Employment & Integration Workshop
Designed for groups — community organizations, church networks, employer partners, or any gathering of people navigating the same transition. We cover job search strategies, U.S. workplace culture, résumé basics, and how to get started building a stable life in Omaha. Available to organizations that serve newcomer populations.
Form & Document Assistance
A rental application. A government form. A job application with questions you’re not sure how to answer. These moments are stressful, and a mistake can have real consequences. We sit with you, go through the document together, and make sure you understand what you’re signing before you sign it.
