Breaking into the US Job Market: Insights from SEA Y2/ Alumni

Want to land your dream job in America? Learn from those who've done it. 

Navigating US recruitment as an international student can feel like solving a puzzle blindfolded. How do you stand out when you're competing with domestic candidates? Which companies actually sponsor visas? How do you network your way into industries like consulting, tech, or finance when you're starting from scratch? 

Join us for an honest, no-BS panel discussion with CBS Y2 & alumni from Southeast Asia who've successfully cracked the code. Our SEA panelists have landed roles at Goldman Sachs, Citi, BofA, Mastercard and Google. They're here to share the strategies, mistakes, and insider tips that got them from international student to employed professional in the US.

What You'll Learn:

• How to position yourself as an international candidate in competitive recruiting processes
• Networking tactics that actually work when you don't have family connections here
• How to leverage your SEA background as a strength, not a limitation
• Navigating visa considerations and having "the sponsorship conversation" with HR

Who Should Attend: Any SEABA member thinking about working in the US post-graduation, whether you're recruiting now or planning ahead. This is your chance to ask the questions you've been Googling at 2 AM.

Format: Panel discussion + open Q&A

Bonus: Lunch provided

Don't miss this chance to learn from people who were sitting in your seat just a few years ago—and are now thriving in their US careers.

See you there!
