A good friend stopped by Business Career Services today and our conversation ventured into the progress of our respective job searches. I know how difficult the process is for a citizen--I can only imagine how much more difficult it must be for non-citizens.
None of this may be new to our international students. But, I thought I would at least try to compile some good resources for those that might be feeling "stuck."
This link lists 30 reputable employers of International Students. I have no idea if any of these companies offers opportunities in the region, but most of you have already come half-way around the world....
Based upon my research most of the employment opportunities exist in the tech and finance sectors. So, it is no surprise that International Business Machines (IBM) has a site dedicated to attracting top international talent. Go to that site here: IBM/Int'l
Check these links out!

Not looking for traditional employment?
As I sit in the BCS office each day I see the excitement on the faces of undergrads immediately before they interview. Actually, a few MBA students pass through here too--be sure to say "hello!"
When I graduated from the University of Washington I can remember getting excited about the possibility of interviewing and landing any job. However, I've gotten older (done laughing at the old man joke yet?) and am getting more picky in my job selection process. I want to be a difference-maker, add value to an organization and find employment with a highly-ethical company. My standards today, unlike a decade ago, are much, much higher. Just working any old job doesn't sound very appealing.
But, what if nothing pans out for me (or you) in the traditional job arena? Recently, I found a link to a BusinessWeek article that features numerous people that faced the same issue. You can find the article here:

Going Global? Or thinking about it...?
Whoa. Goinglobal, the job search engine that can be found under the BCS portion of the Business School website, is ridiculous. In a good way.
For example, I typed in a search query for sales jobs in New Zealand. The result? Too many to comprehend.
By the way, take a look at New Zealand for a minute.
Looks pretty nice, huh?
Going Global also has a blog. You can find it here: http://blog.goinglobal.com/
