| From the Assistant Director: |
As an international student, you may face some challenges looking for employment opportunities in the United States. For starters, you may have some restrictions on when and where you can work. In addition, you may find that employers aren’t really familiar with the visa process and are hesitant to hire international students because of it.
Because of this, Graduate Business Career Management (GBCM) developed this website specifically for you and your career needs. This website is a work in progress and items will be added to it throughout the next few weeks. We hope to provide you with the necessary tools and resources that will assist you in finding internship and full-time job opportunities within the United States.
As graduate business students, you are welcome to make use of any services, resources, and events that we offer.
A complete list of services is available at

A complete list of upcoming events is available at

There is a lot of information to go through on these links, so let me highlight a few services that I think would be most beneficial to you.
