The Blueprint: The Roadmap to Landing a Job as an International Student
About the Book
"International student reveals his firsthand experiences with getting a job at Goldman Sachs."
This year, over 150,000 international students will be graduating from colleges around the United States. Only 4 out of 10 of us will receive H-1B working visas. The odds are not in our favor.
What you need is an actionable guide sharing real experiences and lessons learned. Focusing on the cultural and social differences of Asia, Gunhee provides tips and guidelines for international students studying in the United States. As a current student himself, he walks through the challenges he had to overcome to maximize his chances of getting a job in the United States.
