At Stetson University, we understand that bringing your student to an American university may be part of a bigger plan. Your goals may include enabling your student to gain work experience in the U.S. after graduation, or perhaps giving your student the opportunity to develop a prosperous career in the U.S.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If this is your case, the process to gain employment starts today<\/i>.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Parents<\/em>:
\nIdeally, you are reading this message while your student is a first-year student, sophomore, or junior, because gaining employment in the U.S. requires significant time and effort.<\/p>\n

The first action we recommend is to get an immigration attorney as soon as possible \u2013 even if this is your student\u2019s first year. A good attorney will assess your student\u2019s profile and determine the most viable employment\/immigration strategy. An attorney may even help your student develop a profile that is more favorable for employers and immigration officers.<\/p>\n

Understand that most international students gain employment in the U.S. through networking<\/i>. For this reason, we strongly advise students to focus their job-seeking efforts on developing a professional network, instead of submitting work applications online.<\/p>\n

Stetson University is the first higher education institution in the U.S. to implement Konkeros<\/em><\/a>. Konkeros is the most powerful tool your student could use to find a job in the U.S.. The site includes a business ranking system, which can be used to find and rank all the companies most likely to hire your student. This\u00a0platform provides a viability score to help your student rank prospective employers,. The score indicates which companies are more likely to hire your student based on your student\u2019s profile and historical company data.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Stetson will also give international families, at no additional cost, a book entitled “Konkeros 2018: An International Student\u2019s Guide to Finding Employment in the U.S.”\u00a0<\/i>This cutting-edge book describes in detail the process to gain employment in the U.S. The book will be available in the fall 2017.<\/p>\n
