International Student

As an international student, it is important for you to practice how to bring up your immigration status during the interviews of the recruitment process. This guide is not used for filling out your online application. We will be focusing on how to bring up your status or ways to address it with an employer during an interview. This workshop will give you the opportunity to interactively practice your script with your peers and present yourself in the workplace. This workshop is presented by the International Center and University Career Center.
