Our most popular workshop of the year!

Talk by Dan Beaudry
Date & Time: Thursday, January 9, 2025; 12pm ET – 1:30pm ET
Registration required on Handshake

Dan Beaudry, former head of campus recruiting at Monster.com, shares the potent job search system used by many international students and trainees to find U.S. employment. H-1B’s are won in ways you likely don’t expect. What you’ll discover in this presentation may surprise you:

• Learn how to secure H-1B sponsorship at companies that have a policy against sponsoring H-1B visas.

• Learn why 80 percent of open jobs are never advertised – and how to find them before anyone else.

• Learn why human resources is often an obstacle instead of a conduit to finding a U.S. job-and how to bypass it.

• Learn why only submitting résumés online is not the most effective use of your time-and how you can better invest that time.
