International students face hurdles in their job hunt. Keep the following tips in mind as you embark on your job search:Turn employers' objections into something positive. Be prepared to inform employers of the advantages of hiring you. For example, the fact that you have lived and studied away from home proves that you are flexible, resourceful, and can adapt to new circumstances. Be sure to tell employers about the obstacles you overcame while studying abroad and what these challenges have taught you. Additionally, organizations increasingly need employees who understand other cultures and who can assist them in building international business networks. You can serve as such a resource to them – be sure to remind them of this (gently) during the hiring process!Be flexible. You may need to expand your job search by considering positions outside your preferred geographic location. You may also need to look at jobs that may not be your top choice of career; however, (in keeping with visa requirements) they should still relate to your major choice of study.Be patient and persistent. While finding a job as an international student is very challenging, it is not impossible. Start early, stay organized, and allow yourself the time needed to be successful in your search.Learn how to educate others about the process. You may find that some employers do not know if they can hire you because they are unaware of the process involved in hiring an international student.
