In this course you will learn data driven and tested job search strategies that were specially designed to tilt the balance in favor of international students who seek U.S jobs or internships:
By taking this course you will learn:

- How to address the typical "we don't sponsor challenge" that typically impacts the chances of securing a great job in the U.S as an international student
- How to identify your unique competitive advantages as a job seeker (and highlight strengths that you have, and Americans don't) by using our own ISEL job search framework. (* ISEL stands for I = Interests, S, Skills, E, Experiences, L = Languages)
- How to identify areas of demand that are important for international students from any major to target because of the low supply of American workers
- How to leverage the benefits of H-1B visa program now that it has gotten harder for international students to find U.S employment due to COVID and Trump policies
- How to identify firms that sponsor if your specific field of interest by using a little creativity and the power of the web
- How to manage your conversations with U.S hiring managers and new networking contacts, so you always impress and become someone people like, respect, and want to recommend to jobs
- And much, much more ...
The sooner you understand what you need to do to secure quality jobs in the U.S in your field, the better your chances of getting hired. Act with a sense of urgency, and start now.
