Finding a job or internship as an international student is already challenging enough. I hate scrolling through a billion job portals and trying to figure out whether or not an employer would even consider/hire an international student like me 😭 not to mention having to stay up-to-date on all things immigration. Interstride honestly helped me by having everything in ONE PLACE — US visa insights, country specific resources, a global job search platform that allows you to filter by SPONSORSHIP/VISA TYPE, country, job classification, job type, etc. AND they hold free monthly webinars for students on immigration, job search strategies, etc. I’d highly suggest downloading the app and checking out their online resources. We international students can use all the help and guidance we can get 😅😅

I love the D... chord

I find this app terrible. I graduated 10 years ago and already have an establish career and I’m looking for other job opportunities. However, this app and its website does not understand that I am not a student, and that I am an alumni however it keeps pushing me notifications and resources about help for international students “like me”, but that doesn’t apply to me. Furthermore, the networking system does not let me Network or narrow down my own school to find people that I already know. To make it worse there’s more than 500,000+ job postings and the search tool does not find any jobs relevant to my degree in my experience at all and I live in a city that has a lot of jobs relevant to my career experience in my degree. My former career website was specific to us and provided us with a few dozen jobs that were 100% relative to our school and the different programs you could get a degree in, and now this website that we have moved to, has none of that and is overly convoluted and nobody from Support gets back to me which probably doesn’t matter because it seems all irrelevant anyways…

An amazing tool for international students interested in increasing their chances of getting a U.S. job, learning about potential risks, growing professional network and so much more great information and useful resources. Easy to navigate and very interactive. I’ll definitely recommend to all of the international students I know.
