Once your OPT starts, you will have only 90 days to look for jobs before returning home. The date is fast approaching!
It is important to know how much demand for the job you are targeting and know if that job normally gets H-1B sponsorship. If you choose a career goal that’s not in demand in the US job market or is not difficult to fill, you may end up facing lots of disappointments in your job searching.
You need to brand yourself! To get noticed, it is important to respond to your employers’ needs and differentiate yourself from other candidates!
80% of the jobs are in the hidden job market meaning jobs that haven’t been advertised or posted online. To get to know those jobs and land a red carpet job interview, you need to have meaningful connections with US professionals. It is important for job seekers to have excellent networking skills.
At each job interview, seize the opportunity to further sell yourself and emphasize the strongest points in a way that will catch the interviewer’s attention.

Hi there, this is Coach Kwan.
Job searching is not an easy task. Especially, when we’re in a new country, or when we meet with a group of people we are unfamiliar with, the confidence we used to have back home is now replaced by anxiety and self-doubt.
I totally understand what you’re going through! I want to give you the tools you need to succeed without having to go through the difficulties on your own.
Because when I moved to the US in 2014, I needed to overcome all the challenges that a non-American-born candidate usually experiences.
Throughout my journey adapting to this new culture, I ended up making lots of mistakes. But I also learned from my mistakes and finally found the right approach that helped me land a six-figure salary job in the US.
I understand your challenges as an international student or a first-generation immigrant. I want to make sure that you are brought to your fullest potential as well as being available to reassure you through this process.
Please know that you don’t need to go through this difficult job searching process alone! You have me and ICAway!

As we don’t know how to approach things in a different country, we need a coach to guide us.
This program answers our needs as an international candidate.
