In a competitive job market with strict hiring laws, foreign nationals find additional challenges that further limit their employment options. What institutions are open to hiring foreign nationals? What are they looking for, and what are the typical process and timetable? How can you set yourself apart as you network and seek job openings? What cultural networking norms in the US do you need to be aware of? Our speakers are DC
insiders drawing from years of experience. They are foreign nationals themselves, adding extra value to their insights. Learn what skills and competencies are sought from international applicants, where you should be looking, and how to improve your networking skills to stand out from the crowd!
