Career support for internationally educated healthcare professionals
From internationally trained to confidently positioned for the U.S. job market.
Personalized, bilingual guidance for nurses, physical therapists, pharmacists, and allied health professionals who trained outside the United States.
Your experience has value
A foreign title or license may not tell a U.S. recruiter your full story.
You may understand your profession deeply while still learning how U.S. employers evaluate resumes, clinical experience, education, keywords, and interviews. Pelayo helps you communicate what you know and what you have accomplished in a format the U.S. hiring process can recognize.
Mariam brings more than 11 years of talent acquisition experience, including clinical and non-clinical healthcare recruitment, plus her own perspective as an immigrant.

Where career consulting fits
Credentialing opens the door. Career strategy helps you approach it well.
NCLEX-RN, CGFNS credential evaluation, English proficiency testing, state licensure, and employment authorization may be parts of your journey. Pelayo can help you prepare your professional story and job-search materials around your actual status.
Important: Pelayo Workforce Solutions does not provide credential evaluations, exam preparation, licensure decisions, immigration or legal advice, job placement, or guaranteed employment. We provide career consulting, application-material support, and workforce guidance.
Common questions
Questions international healthcare professionals often bring.
How do I show foreign nursing experience on a U.S. resume?
We preserve the truth of your role while clarifying titles, care settings, responsibilities, patient populations, tools, achievements, and skills for U.S. recruiters.
Why is my resume not passing ATS?
Formatting, unfamiliar titles, missing keywords, unclear credential status, and applying to mismatched roles can all affect results. We review the whole picture.
Should I include my visa status on my resume?
There is no single answer for every person or employer. We can discuss professional presentation and employer questions, but immigration and work-authorization advice must come from a qualified legal professional.
Can you help before I finish credentialing?
Yes, career preparation can begin earlier. Recommendations will reflect your real stage, and we will not present a license, eligibility, or credential you do not yet hold.
