Check with your faculty advisor to see if there are any opportunities in your department. In seeking advice from any career counselor in the United States, you will undoubtedly be told about the benefits of interviewing for information and networking as a means to finding a suitable job. Indeed, it is common in many cultures to find employment as a result of having the right connections. Begin networking with faculty members and students. Many faculty members have worked or studied abroad and maintain professional contacts with colleagues overseas.
Many professional associations have an international membership.
Write to these organizations to request information on their publications, student rates, and overseas chapters. These links may lead you to knowledgeable people and, hopefully, job opportunities. Not only will your family and friends be happy to hear from you but you can ask for information on the job market. Family, friends, and former employers can all provide you with information and job leads while you are busy studying in the United States. In addition, these contacts may also be in a position to serve as references.
