What Every International Student Should Know About U.S. Employment
Wednesday, January 24th
2pm-3:30pm, E25-111

Dan Beaudry, former head of campus recruiting at Monster.com<http://Monster.com>, shares the potent job search system used by many international students to find U.S. employment. H-1B's are won in ways you likely don't expect.

What you'll discover in this presentation may surprise you:
* Learn how to secure H-1B sponsorship at companies that have a policy against sponsoring H-1B visas.
* Learn why 80 percent of open jobs are never advertised - and how to find them before anyone else.
* Learn why human resources is often an obstacle instead of a conduit to finding a U.S. job-and how to bypass it.
* Learn why submitting résumés online is not an effective use of your time-and how you can better invest that time.

Dan’s programs at MIT have been very popular in years past.  Find more information about him and his book, The International Student’s Guide to Finding a Job in th United States<http://www.powerties.net/>, at www.powerties.net<http://www.powerties.net/>.

Co-sponsored by GECD and ISO
