What’s your advice to others seeking
sponsorship opportunities?
Maintaining a growth mindset is key when it
comes to making a career change. Keep believing
in yourself, apply to any opportunity you find,
and be sure to think through the practicalities
of your decision.
EXPERT ADVICE
When OPT or changing country is your top priority
Stay close to your current function and industry to demonstrate value to a
new company. Leverage differentiators, i.e. global experience, language,
cultural awareness. Go where the jobs are—which may not be just within
20 miles of the campus. Any market hungry for talent favors the job seeker.
