Workshop: How to Prepare for an Interview

Location: Virtual Event

When: Thursday, March 10 & Monday, April 18, 12-12:45pm

Interviewing takes practice -- and interviews do not need to be perfect. You will say "um” at certain points. You will get caught off-guard by an unexpected interview question and will need some time to think through how to best answer it. You may need to ask the interviewer to repeat a question because you want to make sure you understood it correctly. These scenarios are okay! We are human. The key is to be prepared and be yourself throughout the interview process.

H1B Presentation with Immigration Attorney Mark Rhoads

Confused about options for staying and working in the United States after graduation? Worried about the H1B quota? Is it true that OPT has been extended to 2 years? Any changes to CPT? We are pleased to sponsor a seminar presented by an experienced immigration attorney. Topics will include a detailed discussion of the H1B visa, which is the most popular work visa in the US, Optional Practical Training (OPT), and options for pursuing permanent residence through employment. In addition, our speakers will provide practical strategies for talking to employers about work visa issues during interviews.

Date & Time: March 7, 2022 from 12-1pm
