Does this sound familiar?
Over the years, I have worked with international students facing similar challenges:
- You're not sure how to get your first U.S. internship
- You're confused about how to succeed in a U.S. tech education system, where expectations and teaching styles are very different
- You don't understand the unspoken norms between faculty and students, and what's expected outside the classroom
- You're unsure how to plan CPT and OPT without delaying graduation or risking legal status
- You're applying to jobs and hearing nothing back—despite having qualifications
- You want to stay and work in the U.S., but don't know which jobs sponsor visas
- You feel like you're navigating everything alone—with no real guidance
If any of this sounds familiar, you're not alone—and there's a better, smarter way forward.
Where You Could Be in Just Two Months:
Imagine confidently explaining:
- What type of internship or full-time job fits your background and visa path
- The U.S. classroom and career expectations—and how to meet them
- A clear timeline for OPT, CPT, and potential H-1B sponsorship
- How your unique story and skills can become strengths, not obstacles
- What to do now, next, and after graduation
This transformation is possible with the right guidance, structure, and support.
