Whether you're preparing for an internship training program interview, or preparing for a job interview, the challenges remain the same: you must appear confident, describe and promote your skills and experience, and explain your motivation and goals.
It is important to note an interview is a two-way street. US Employers are not required to hire someone with time-limited employment authorization such as an F-1 international student authorized for 12-months of Optional Practical Training (OPT).
During the interview you may be asked the following questions:
(1) Are you legally authorized to work in the US? (yes or no); and
(2) Will you now or in the future require sponsorship for employment visa status (e.g. H-1B status)? (yes or no).
Cost-conscious employers, especially small business or nonprofit organizations, frequently perceive the process as cumbersome or misunderstand their obligations and are reluctant to petition the USCIS to adjust your work status, simply have a policy against it, or do not want to incur any additional expenses. If you think you will have trouble informing protential H-1B sponsors on their responsibilities associated with filing the USCIS Form I-129, "Petition for Temporary Worker," register for a workshop today to learn the rules and procedures before the interview! Realistically, by explaining the simplicity of the application process yourself, you increase the likelihood of getting hired.
