To learn more about job search strategy for F-1 international students, visit https://www.icaway.com/ In this episode, I'll share with you the right strategy to look for jobs when your 90-day OPT unemployment allowance is running out. One important thing that makes International Students' job search different from domestic students is work authorization. To be eligible to work after graduation, international students need to apply for their Post-Completion Optional Practical Training or OPT. Whether you are a STEM or non-STEM student, US federal law limits the period that you can be unemployed when your OPT starts. The limits are 90 days for post-completion OPT. It counts both weekdays and weekends. If you travel outside the U.S. like visiting home, your time spent outside the U.S. also counts as unemployment. I want to focus on this topic because there has been a lot of career advice out there for international students on social media channels Recently, a few students of mine shared a post from a social media influencer on Instagram. This person shared a job search tip for international students who need to find jobs within 90 days They gave this advice. Quote Unquote “Put all your effort and time into companies that will actually sponsor your visa” This is totally misguided. Be careful of wasting your time by following the advice from content creators out there who do not actually have hands-on experience coaching international students. They just post the content because you want to hear it and it's not necessary to be good advice. With your OPT, remember that you don't need a company that promises to sponsor you right away. Your OPT is your work authorization. You can start working part-time or full-time without sponsorship. You don't need to ask for sponsorship right away. Job hunting within 90 days is a time crunch if you're not familiar with the US job market. Even for domestic job candidates who do not have work visa barriers, securing a dream job within 90 days could be challenging. First, know the options that allow you to stay past the 90-day period. The term “employed” for your OPT is not as specific as you might think. First, this employment needs to be related to your field of study. But whether it is Paid or unpaid job - it doesn't matter! As long as the responsibility is related to your major, this employment will help stop the 90-day unemployment allowance clock. If you cannot find a paid full-time job, look for other options, such as temporary jobs, volunteering positions, or internships that will allow you to remain in the USA. Maintain your status first and continue your dream job search! Please always contact your International Student Services Office at your college or university. Your DSO is the person who can approve if the job is compatible with your OPT. Now, let's listen to this episode to learn more about how to find jobs within 90 days. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/icaway/support

To learn more about job search strategy for F-1 international students, visit https://www.icaway.com/ I grew up in Bangkok, Thailand and when I moved to the U.S. in 2014, I was so excited about starting my new chapter! But after months of job hunting, I became very frustrated and disappointed because it was not easy to land my dream job since I wasn't born and raised in the US! I didn't know how to market myself! I didn't know how to communicate my brand to American employers. I didn't know how to make people like me enough to eventually become referrals for my dream company. Nobody gave me proper advice about how to communicate my work authorizations as an immigrant! I experienced unique barriers that most American friends of mine will never understand! I evaluated my situation, I came up with a new game plan and finally discovered how to market myself as an international professional. I built new connections from scratch and secured a 6-figure salary job at one of the big four consulting firms in Chicago. The firm said they receive about 500,000 job applications a year and only 3.5 percent of them get hired and I got hired. This is what I'm here for! At ICAway, my mission is to help YOU achieve the same outcome I want to help international students or first-generation immigrants overcome their obstacles and be able to successfully market themselves to American employers. If you are a school advisor advocating an IS career, I really admire your dedication and hard work in supporting the international student community! I'd like you to know that ICAway is here to support you and your work in order to achieve our common goal - helping international students launch their first career in the US. This is the new season of the ICAway podcast that's designed to help international students launch their first career in the US. The international student job search situation is very unique! When compared with domestic students, International students have to deal with more intense time constraints in their career search. like having to get hired within 90 days after the OPT work authorization starts, and getting work visa sponsorship before the expiration of their OPT. This podcast will help you start making the right gameplan, and build a career brand and networking strategy. You need a game plan because success happens when you start early, follow a proven strategy, and never give up. Let's start by looking at some true stories of people that have used the information that I will be discussing in this podcast. They are international students at ICAway who landed their dream jobs at top global companies because they had solid career brands and networking skills. All of them bypassed all the traditional job application processes because they know how to optimize their career brand and network with the right people. In our next episodes, I'll start sharing the formulas they use to help them land their dream jobs. Stay tuned! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/icaway/support

Millions of students worldwide go abroad for higher education every year, and U.S. colleges have long been their top choice – but that may be under threat. International education expert Rajika Bhandari says the country's immigration policies often ignore what these students bring to the table: bolstering college bottom lines, diversifying classrooms, and building the economy. Rajika spoke to Ben about her memoir, “America Calling,” and how she'd like to improve the “troubled tango” between the United States and the international students who call it home.  Higher Ed Spotlight is a podcast, sponsored by Chegg's Center for Digital Learning, that aims to explore the future of higher education today.

Last week we heard from Matt who shared with us the opportunities for the Gospel presented by the increasing presence of international students on US college campuses.

Those who want to study in Canada have to jump through a lot of hoops in order to secure education, and that doesn't include the nominal fees that come with being an international student.

Improving a student's sense of belonging and connectedness is a powerful force for good—and measurably improves enrollment, inclusion, and retention. A higher sense of belonging improves students' excitement, confidence, and commitment related to college. The first year experience begins with the admissions and application process, before the first year even truly begins. Many of us will soon be facing early and priority admissions deadlines for next fall. Now is the perfect time to take a strategic approach to student success through creating a space for building intentional connections. This episode explores the creative ways CSUN is working towards increasing student yield and ultimately student success through community building. Listen to a case-study of how to build a student-driven sense of belonging using the Near Peer peer-to-peer engagement platform. Near Pear is a virtual peer network that reinforces a sense of belonging and community throughout the student lifecycle, resulting in increased yield, reduced melt, and improved persistence.Host: Stephanie Krusemark, Vice President of Enrollment Management Illif School of Theology Guests: Dustin Manocha, Founder and CEO Near Peer Aaron Lindberg, Director of AdmissionsCalifornia State University-Northridge
