Tips from International Students
索汉姆Turakhia
B.S. Information Sciences and Technology, May 2021
A lot of planning and preparation are needed to obtain a full-time position. 我在大四的9月份开始了我的研究,在12月底申请了这些职位.
For my OPT process, 我见到了. 康堤Szymusiak, the International Student Adviser, about four months before graduating in May 2021 to start the process. It is important to contact Ms. 我很早就知道OPT的申请,因为申请可能会积压, and it could always take a long time before it is approved.
我见到了. 以确保我的STEM OPT获得批准,并确保我的OPT申请提交给美国公民及移民服务局(USCIS)的文件完整和正确。.
As an international student, 找工作很有挑战性,竞争也很激烈,因为来自美国各地的国际学生都在申请同一个职位. 由于签证的复杂性,公司对雇佣国际学生犹豫不决. 我和公司核实了一下,看看他们是否雇佣国际学生,因为如果他们不雇佣国际学生,填写申请就是浪费时间. 当你提交大量申请时,在一份文件中记录下你申请的所有职位是至关重要的, such as the area and the positions.
职业服务中心的职业顾问Courtney Kantoski在职业规划过程中给了我很多帮助. 我在大四的时候找她审阅和编辑我的简历和求职信. 我和考特尼做了很多模拟面试,这有助于我为真正的工作面试做准备.
考特尼帮我在领英(LinkedIn)上建立了一份求职资料,并指导我如何与十大网投平台信誉排行榜的校友建立联系, 教师, 工作人员, and company recruiters. 她指导我在整个十大网投平台信誉排行榜的校园里准备招聘会. 她还帮我创建个人资料,上传简历,并在Nittany Lion Careers网站上找工作.
I am happy to conclude through all of this preparation, 我在普莱森顿的考贝尔网络公司找到了一份安全研究工程师的工作, 加州.
