This event is co-sponsored by the International Center & the English Language Institute (ELI).

International students bring valuable talents to the U.S. job market, from cross-cultural insights and language skills to a global outlook that enriches any workplace. Yet, navigating the U.S. job market can be very stressful! The Engineering Career Resource Center (ECRC) and the International Center are co-hosting an informative workshop to help you be better equipped for the job search.

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.

This session is intended for international students and scholars in F-1 and J-1 status. Permanent residency authorizes a foreign national to work in the U.S. indefinitely. Topics covered in the workshop include basic eligibility requirements and specific procedures.

Presenter: Dawn Welk Wise from the Law Firm of Irani & Wise.
