GMAC Global Management Education Graduate Study – 2012
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
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
