Job Hunting for International Students

EP 210 | Stop Your OPT Clock


Listen Later

In this episode, learn the easiest way to stop the OPT clock. Any offer can accomplish that; here I discuss finding a volunteer role to stop the clock if you are running out of time. When we volunteer, we need NOT work full-time, thus leaving us several more months and many hours in the day to conduct a structured job hunt.   

To be completely honest with you, my ideal clients are not those who are running out of time and trying to get just any job. This mindset is detrimental to finding a job that we actually like.   

This mindset also can make it difficult to think about aiming for a job that we really do want and being open and coachable to achieve that. However, we need to realize that running out of time on the “OPT clock” is all too common. It doesn’t need to happen and this video explains what to do at a high level.
