International Student Career Lab 1: Career Strategy & Resume Lab

Navigating the U.S. job market as an international student presents unique challenges and powerful opportunities. This foundational lab is built to do two things at once: give you a clear strategic direction for your search and turn that direction into the document every employer will judge you on.Most students start with the resume. We start one step earlier, with the strategy that makes the resume work. When you know your direction, the resume writes itself.In this lab, you will: 

Build your strategic foundation: Understand the U.S. recruiting timelines for internships and post-graduation roles, map your search around them, and define a clear career direction using the Career Strategy Thesis approach.

Turn strategy into a resume that lands: Learn the anatomy of a strong, one-page U.S. resume, and shape yours so it reflects your direction rather than just listing your past.

Master Suffolk’s support system: Get a step-by-step overview of the FREE, specialized career resources available to you, and learn how to use them throughout your search. 
This is the essential first step to turning your international background into a competitive advantage. You will leave with a sharper direction and a resume already moving toward employer ready.This is a Hybrid Session (in-person and virtual).
