Many employers have the misunderstanding that employing a non-U.S. resident is difficult.
In reality, it is quite simple. But like it or not, most employers will think that hiring international students is complicated, if not illegal. Therefore, it is your job to educate your potential employers about how easy it is to hire an F-1 student. This word usually sets off an alarm to most employers and may lead them to think of tedious paperwork, complicated legal process, expensive attorney's fees, etc. An employer can terminate your employment after 12 months if you don't perform up to their standards.
