How to Recruit
International Students
Hiring international students can be a competitive advantage. We encourage you to seriously consider international students for your MBA positions. Many of our international students have worked in economies and markets that have been volatile, most of them are multicultural and multilingual, and most are the best and brightest in the countries from which they've come. Please inquire about the process of hiring an international MBA from the Johnson School.
Summer Internships
International students are eligible to work in the United States the summer between their first and second year. All of the required work authorization paperwork is handled through the university. The employer simply processes the required paperwork as they would for any U.S. citizen intern.
Full-time Employment
The process is likely less expensive and arduous than many employers think. Our international students generally hold the F-1 (foreign student) or J-1 (exchange visitor) visa. In both cases, the Immigration and Naturalization Service allows employers to hire those who have completed their courses of study to work in "practical training" for up to 12 months; those on a J-1 visa up to 18 months. Beyond that, most employers will apply for the H-1B visa, which allows the employee to work for up to six years in the United States; H-1B application is usually a three month process at a relatively minimal cost. Employers who interview on campus have the right to interview candidates based on their authorization to work in a particular country, but the CMC will allow all students to submit resumes for "closed" interview slots.
More information on hiring our talented international students is available by inquiring at the Career Management Center or our International Students and Scholars Office (ISSO). Our ISSO Web site has a section dedicated to providing information to employers on hiring international students.
