  12. JOB SEARCH CONSIDERATIONS - About 20% of the jobs that exist in the U.S. are advertised in newspapers, trade magazines, or on the Internet. The other 80% of job openings are in the "hidden" job market. - Best employment prospects for international students may be with international companies. International students are great assets to global organizations. - Statistics suggest that international students who wish to work in the United States would be wise to pursue “specialty occupations” such as IT, finance/accounting, computer science, engineering, hospitality, medicine and business in order to increase their chance of employment. - According to "US Multinationals and the Foreign MBA," more than 53% of foreign survey respondents received a job offer from an American company where they completed an internship

  13. Additional Advice Market Yourself Positively - It is very important for International students to turn employers' objections into positives. It is important for them to tell employers about the challenges you faced in studying overseas and how you overcame them. International students should be prepared to tell employers how hiring them offers more advantages than disadvantages. Be Flexible - International students may need to expand their job search by considering jobs outside their desired career. Patience and Persistence - Start Now !!!!! & Follow through !!!! Network with friends, professors, other students, and staff of the university. Become familiar with visa application processes. Participating in an internship experience may lead to a full-time, paid position. Be sure to remember that an F-1 visa holder requires CPT in order to participate in an internship and a J-1 requires AT

  14. INT’L VS U.S. INTERVIEW • Personal relationships may be more important than time. Being late may not be a problem. • Eye contact, especially with persons of higher status, may be disrespectful. • Interviewers commonly start with small talk and look for information regarding character or personality. • Interviewer may talk for the majority of the interview. • Age, race, sex, or marital status may be issues in the interview. Males may be expected to dominate interactions with females. Younger people may be expected to show deference to older people • Be punctual. Arrive five to fifteen minutes prior to appointment • Eye contact is expected and shows confidence. • Interviewer styles vary, and some may begin with direct questions or minimal small talk. • Interviewer may do most of the talking or may expect the candidate to do most of the talking. • Questions regarding age, race, sexual orientation, disabilities, national origin and marital status are illegal

  15. ACTION PLAN • STOP BY KPDC !!!!! • SPEAK WITH FELLOW STUDENTS ( 2nd Year) !!!! • START NOW !!!!!!!!!! • START NOW !!!!!!!!! • START NOW !!!!!!! • START NOW !!!!!!
