Students

International students searching for opportunities in the United States face many challenges as do domestic students searching for international opportunities. Following are resources to assist with both types of searches.

International students seeking U.S. employment should:

• Review the Career Planning Guide for International Students prepared by the International Careers Consortium. The binder is available in the OCS and covers topics ranging from Career Planning to Immigration and Legal Issues to Starting a Job in the U.S.
• Request copies of the pamphlet, "It's Easy to Hire an International Student," from OCS to become familiar with U.S. hiring policies and to share with prospective employers.
• Visit  h-1 visa jobs for information on visas.
• Visit NACE JobWeb Global Resources.
• Establish contact with the Columbia University International Students and Scholars Office for information on Immigration and Document Services, International Student and Scholar Orientations, and more.

 Domestic students seeking global opportunities should visit:

• NACE JobWeb for advice on working for an international company/employer, the international resume and the global CV.
• JobERA for additional suggestions on international resumes and the international job search.
• The OCS to review the International Careers Consortium binder for tips on searches abroad.
• The global section of our websites of interest pages and Global Resources.

Students should also review the following resources available in/through the OCS on a regular basis: Monday Developments, International Career Employment Weekly, and Public Health Jobs Worldwide.
