Questions and Answers

Student Three

Q: "I am an international student and am having trouble finding opportunities. How can the career center help me?"

It is true that finding employers willing to sponsor international students has become more difficult over the last decade. To help SMG students, the career center holds a three part workshop each fall called the “International Student Series.” During these sessions, you will learn the strategies of a successful job search and have an opportunity to network with other international alumni. In the meantime, make an appointment with a career counselor (617-353-2834) to create your custom plan and read the International student section for more valuable advice.

The School of Management has also provided our students access to the h1visajobs.com database.
