I am an F-1 international student looking for an internship. How can I identify companies that will hire me for internships or full-time jobs?
Whether or not employers can hire students with F-1 Visas will vary depending on the employer and their specific hiring policy. Many employers do not want to hire F-1 students for internships because they are looking to identify potential full-time hires, and they cannot hire an F-1 Visa candidate for full-time employment, based on their hiring guidelines. Schedule an appointment to discuss how to market your unique situation in more detail. This will give you an opportunity to identify additional resources or avenues to pursue your internship search aside from the on-campus recruiting program and online listings for which you may not meet the requirements. Finally, to increase your chances, you may want to consider looking for an internship at a company that has international offices.
