I always love closing my Job Search workshops with advice from International MBAs that successfully landed US jobs. Here I share advice from African, Asian and European colleagues.

The MBA job search heats up in October with Career Fairs, Job Treks and Company presentations. Recruiters meet so many students this time of year; it can be tough to stand out from the crowd. In this video, I offer advice on making yourself memorable during a company presentation using my Three-Points of Contact tactic.

Helping International students learn, succeed and have fun by leading workshops is one of my favorite things to do as the Director of MBA in the USA. With the launch of my new YouTube channel, I’m excited to share excerpts from recent workshops with my blog readers. Here I am opening a Job Search workshop with a story on the impact of culture on your US job search. Enjoy!
