International students who received their first job offer in the USA... Congratulations!! Getting that first job offer was not easy, but I'm glad you did it. While this is a significant achievement, there are some important things to consider before making your decision. 1.   SAFETY: With the recent increase in crime targeting international students, it's crucial to ensure the safety of the location where you'll be working and staying. Check the crime rate of the area, assess the safety of your commute, and be aware of your surroundings. Also, have a plan in case of emergencies and know where to seek help if needed. 2.   COST OF LIVING: The cost of living varies from location to location in the USA. It is important to verify tax deductions, expenditures needed to live and work, and the amount you can save from every paycheck. This becomes especially important if you have borrowed a loan to pursue international studies. 3.   COMMUTE TO WORK: When considering commuting to work, it's important to confirm the location of your workplace and the distance from your residence. Calculate the daily round-trip commute and consider discussing options for a commuting allowance or per diem reimbursement with your employer. 4.   LIFE AFTER WORK: On weekdays you will be at work. Consider what you are going to do after work, and at weekends. Look into whether there are any groups or communities with whom you share connections, ethnicity, interests, and/or values. These are people you can engage in conversations and spend time with. Discover if there are any enjoyable places for recreation or exploration nearby. 5.   HEALTH AND WELLNESS: Think about how you will manage your physical and mental health while at work. Consider the accessibility of healthcare and fitness centers. Nowadays, companies provide diverse benefits to support employees' health and well-being. When creating a wellness plan for yourself, be sure to consider these benefits. Also, check if there are any grocery stores, restaurants, or markets nearby where you can find fresh and healthy food. If you could find the food of your culture or ethnicity, that would be best, isn’t it? Success in your endeavors is important. However, for family and friends back in your country, your safety, health, well-being, and happiness are what matter most. After all, though a significant one, your first job is a milestone on the path to success in your profession and life. #internationalstudents #studyinUSA #workinUSA #lifeinUSA

#FrequentlyAskedQuestions about Summer Jobs for #InternationalStudents in #Canada International students staying in Canada over the summer may have questions about finding employment while they await the fall semester. Here’s a comprehensive guide to help navigate summer job opportunities as an international student in Canada. What is Canada’s policy for work hours as an international student?

If you're an international grad student who's just graduated & hasn't landed a job, you know the clock's ticking, but did you know your university professors can help? If you're a last semester student who will graduate in the next few months or have just graduated without a job, remember to check with your professors with whom you worked as a Graduate Assistant or a Research Assistant to understand whether they would be willing to extend your employment on university payroll for the next few months. This may not be an option in every school. This may not work if you haven't worked as a TA/GA/RA with a professor at your school before. This also may not work if you didn't do a great job as an assistant. But, if you did an amazing job as your Professor's assistant, had a good rapport with them, this option is worth a shot! Remember to also check with your school Visa services to understand more about how this can work out. Also, a reminder to last sem Grad students to always have a plan B in case you don't land a job by the time you graduate. The market's still not great, and there are many amazing candidates like yourself in the market applying for the same position as you are. So, make sure you look at every avenue possible while you're on the Visa clock. If you found this helpful, please comment on the post so it reaches someone in your network who may benefit from it, and follow me along on Shreya Mishra as I share more from my experiences of studying & working in the U.S. Good luck! 🪄

This allows students to earn money, gain work experience, and support their living expenses. ➡ **Full-Time Work During Breaks**: During official course breaks, international students can work unlimited hours. This provides an opportunity to save money and potentially gain more extensive work experience in their field of study. ➡ **Post-Study Work Opportunities**: After completing their studies, international students may be eligible for a Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485), which allows them to live and work in Australia temporarily. The duration depends on the level of qualification achieved. ➡ **Fair Work Protections**: International students have the same workplace rights as all other workers in Australia. This includes the right to a minimum wage, safe working conditions, and protection from unfair dismissal. The Fair Work Ombudsman offers resources and support to ensure students understand their rights. ➡ **Industry Placement and Internships**: Many courses in Australia include practical training, internships, or industry placements as part of the curriculum. These experiences are invaluable for gaining relevant skills and improving employability. ➡ **Tax Obligations and Superannuation**: Students working in Australia need to obtain a Tax File Number (TFN) and are subject to Australian tax laws. Employers are also required to contribute to the employee's superannuation (retirement savings) if the monthly earnings exceed a certain threshold. ➡ **Employment Resources and Support**: Universities and educational institutions often provide career services, including job search assistance, resume workshops, and interview preparation. This helps students find suitable employment and navigate the Australian job market effectively.
