In recent years the pressure to find a job in North America has gradually risen, and a tense atmosphere has begun to spread across campuses. The job market is becoming increasingly competitive, especially for international students. For international students studying interaction design, the environment has not been optimistic in recent years, with the development of artificial intelligence technology and the changing needs of the entire technology industry.
More than 55% of international students chose stem majors, including math, computer and engineering, especially Chinese students, almost more than 23.2% of them chose computer science in recent years, resulting in a more difficult job search market now. Overseas job search was originally a path for international students after graduation, but now, it is becoming a big gamble of “inward roll”, 2024 North American factories are still maintaining layoffs, and in March, the unemployment rate rose again to 4.7% according to the U.S. Department of Labor data, Chinese graduates stay in the U.S. for work accounted for about 10%, which means that 90% of them need to work in the United States. That is, 90% of the international students need to go back to their home countries, plus North America will give a person a great feeling is in the protection of local employment, there will be a lot of jd written above us citizen only, or security clearance, which in fact greatly reduces the number of you can deliver. You can imagine how much pressure there is nowadays.
And this is a large part of the people will actually fall in this stage of job hunting. As a passer-by, in fact, in addition to the social environment factors exacerbate the difficulty of finding a job, there is also a part of the North American job search related information is not fully understood, here I share my experience, I hope to help you.
Resume is very crucial:
The proportion of educational experience in the resume should not be too large, and the recent work title is very important, some hr only look at the work title and then decide whether to interview, so the title can be modified, as long as close and their own experience has been on it. It is best to prepare two resumes respectively to present different skillset and then according to the position of the JD to decide to cast which resume I am generally accustomed to according to the JD and then modify my resume and then hand in, if it has been the machine brush suggests that more changes to the resume can be appropriate to ask for help.
coffee chat：
Personally, I think this step for data focused position is not so useful than the financial aspects of the position is mainly from experienced practitioners to learn some knowledge, internships encountered mentor and hr can be more connect they will take special care of internships what positions will help you pay attention to my previous offer is to their own sea casting to the but also have a The most important thing to remember is that you can't get an interview with a person who is not in a position to do it.
Need to start doing research early:
We all know that the recruiting timeline is much earlier now, and many big companies even start recruiting in the summer vacation. My suggestion is to start looking for positions half a year or more in advance, I like to set up reminders in linkedin based on keywords, so that every few days will be pushed related positions, basically to the back of the sea casting is that every position that is relevant will be cast!
In fact, after each interview, there will be certain gains, such as which skills I am missing, which questions I did not prepare in advance. Too anxious to cast a mess only to seek quantity but not quality is also very fatal. I have been in this circle before, full-time students during the period of study, crazy resume, the final result is, every interview sucks. One is not enough time to prepare for the lack of, but also because of too much anxiety cast too many positions to cast a special variety. The person is particularly tired every day and the result is not good. Be sure to resume interviews and tech questions mulled over almost before starting to cast, or waste of time, the effect is not good but also a blow to self-confidence.
