This week, we have some exciting job findings and updates.

First of all, we built a tool to help simplify your search for visa sponsored job opportunities. Here is a quick 20 second demo:

We do recognize that the tool is most helpful if you have at least 3+ years of work experience, and if you are a new grad looking for OPT, or STEM-OPT opportunities, the results may be limited.

Hence, we are in the process of building a tailored version of this (coming soon!).

Now, here are some of our favorite visa sponsored job postings this week. Please access the complete list here.

We also posted over 100+ opportunities in Finance, and Sustainability for OPT/CPT students on our website.

While some of the employers in these lists may not necessarily sponsor visas beyond your OPT, these are great options to get your foot into the door if you don’t have substantial work experience.

Once again, we are in the process of adding new entry level roles to cover more job fields. If there are certain areas of particular interest to you, please reach out.

Next on the agenda, let’s talk about Networking.

You should be spending 60% of your time networking and 40% searching and applying as part of your job hunting process. Most people spend 90% of their time doing the latter.

We released our Networking 101 playbook, along with a free Notion template, to help you rethink how you are currently meeting new people and forging professional relationships.

Last but not least, we shared a list of the top 200 companies who employed international students for OPT and STEM-OPT.

This list is helpful for those who would like their job search to be targeted towards certain employers who have a solid track record of hiring international students and are well aware of OPT and STEM-OPT rather than one having to undergo complicated explanations every single time.
