Hello everyone and thank you for joining us for the Interstride demo. My name is Erica Ford and I am the International Career Development coach here in the Central Career Services Office located in Barnes Hall at Cornell University. With me, I have my colleagues, Jess Perlus who is the Senior Associate Director of Career Services, and Stephanie Resue, Assistant Director of Data and Systems. We also have our guest presenter, Kendall Perez, who is the University Relations Manager for Interstride. As international students, many of you have experienced unique challenges in your job and internship search. In addition to navigating laws that govern your academic and employment options, it is sometimes difficult to locate employers who are international student friendly. You may ask yourself, where do I begin? Or how do I know if employer sponsors work visas after OPT? Cornell Career Services is helping to make your search a bit easier with the help of Interstride. Today you will learn how to use the various resources that Interstride has to offer to support your job and internship search, both in the U.S. and globally. As a note, we encourage you to continue using the support of International Services in the Office of Global Learning for student immigration information including CPT, OPT and Academic Training. Links to their resources have been included in the Interstride platform. The session is being recorded and a link will be shared by e mail with all students who are invited to the demo. Throughout this demo, you're welcome to type your questions into the Q&A chat and additional time at the end will be taken to address questions. You're free to follow along by visiting Interstride.com/Cornell and logging in with your Cornell username and password. I will now turn it over to Kendall Perez University Relations Manager for Intertride. Awesome, cool. Thank you so much, Erica. Hello everyone. Good afternoon. It's good to be here. As Erica mentioned, my name is Kendall Perez. And I'm going to be leading you through this presentation as to Intrastride this new resource that has been made available. I really want to give a shout out to Erica, Stephanie, and Jess, who have been absolutely fantastic in terms of making sure that this resource is available for you all and doing all the onboarding and making sure that all the faculty and staff are up to date as to what this is as we are officially now live. I believe the official email letting all know about this will be coming out tomorrow from those teams. But very excited to launch this at Cornell. And again, I'm going to be taking the next, a half hour, 40 minutes just to go ahead and walk you through this platform. So, again before I start sharing my screen, I just want to give a quick little introduction to Interstride and what it is. Interstride is a portal that was designed to help international students on their career and immigration journeys. The founder of Inerstride, his name is Nitin, he's my supervisor. He grew up in Nepal and did his higher education in the States. He was an international student, navigating the job search process from an international lens. Understanding that he had a lot more hurdles he had to navigate compared to his domestic counterpeers. Going through that process and navigating it led to the inspiration to create something that was specifically geared towards helping international students on their career journey. That idea grew into what is now Interstride. Throughout this presentation, I'm going to showcase exactly how this platform helps support you. Like Erica said, we'll have some time for questions at the end, but with that being said, I'm going to go into sharing my screen and we'll go ahead and get started. Here we go. Awesome. Here is the landing page that Erica mentioned at the beginning. I'm also going to drop this link in the chat. If anyone wants to bookmark this, save this. We definitely recommend that you do If you go to log in and you'll log in using your Cornell credentials. Just a heads up, especially as you log in or try to access the portal for the first time. If you try to log in with like a Gmail or a personal email, you're not going to automatically have access because it is associated with your Cornell credentials. So, just make sure that you are inputting that once you put in your Cornell email, it'll redirect you to finish your login process with your single sign on credentials. But I will go ahead and log in myself. Awesome, great. This is what the portal dashboard looks like when you first log in. You'll see that the platform is divided within four main sections. We've got jobs, network, learn, and tools, and I'm going to go ahead and dive into each one of those in a moment. I'm going to spend the bulk of our time together on the job section, since that is the most important part of the portal. But a few things to notice at a quick glance is: you'll see on the dashboard, we are sharing quite a lot of content for things relevant to this audience. We'll have things such as upcoming webinars or we'll have things like trends in the economy or articles relating to immigration updates. It's a good thing to check out every once in a while when you have some free time. Maybe just like browse through any updates that are being shared here. The Cornell team may also be sharing some updates or some articles that are relevant for you. Want to dive straight into our first section, which is the jobs section. When you first log in, you'll get little tutorial videos just to go ahead and help showcase this or help you navigate this. But the jobs dashboard is further divided within these four subsections. We've got search jobs, job alerts, U.S. visa insights and country insights. The two that I'm going to talk about the most are going to be the search jobs and the U.S. visa insights. And you'll see why in just a moment. But want to start us off with the search jobs. The search job section is kind of like your general search. This is where you can go to start looking for different opportunities. We have a few different filters in place to help guide international students on their search journey. For example, we have this top 500 H-1B filter. The reason why we have that filter is it ranges from year to year. But for the past several years, about two thirds, 75% of international students are getting hired from 500 companies. 500 companies are doing the vast majority of sponsoring international students. Of course, those are going to include some of your big names like Amazon, they're the number one sponsor for international folks. But also there's going to be Nike, Apple, big organizations like that are going to fit within this top 500. If I want to look for positions within that top 500 category, you're going to see again, some pretty familiar names. I see IBM right here, or Deloitte, CGI Technologies, Accenture. There's going to be quick little things at a glance. If you do hover over the company name, you can see how often that company sponsored in 2022 IBM, they sent out almost thousand petitions last year on behalf of international folks to get visas. Accenture, they did just under 3,000. CGI Technologies, they did 941. You can get a quick little glance in terms of seeing how often is this company sponsoring. You can find a further analysis of that breakdown on the U.S. Visa insights. Again, I'll showcase exactly how to do that once we move to that category. But you can narrow your search down by city, you can narrow it down by state. I do want to note this one position right here at Accensure. You'll see a tag next to it that says sponsored last year. Any position that was specifically sponsored in 2022, they will have a tag next to it indicating as such, you know, that this job at this company, they sponsored someone from an international background to do that position. Those ones are going to have the highest likelihood of sponsorship because they've already sponsored someone from an international background to do that job in the previous year. Now that is a tag in itself, you also may notice a few different positions have multiple different locations. For example, this one at Qualcomm. They're hiring two folks for like a business operations position, one in Santa Clara, one in San Diego. Both of them were sponsored, but that sponsored last year tag is a filter in itself. If we want to search for, maybe we'll look at a data scientist position. I want to look for positions that were specifically sponsored last year. I can go ahead and search again the ones that have the view next to it. That means that there's multiple different positions available there. But again, I know that all of these positions here have specifically been sponsored. This one sounds interesting. And Spotify, that's cool. Maybe if I really like this job, if I'm like, oh, I'm interested in that, but I want to revisit it later. If you go ahead and start it right there, it'll be added to your favorites and I'll showcase where to find those in just a moment. But again, you can be very broad with your search, you can be very specific with your search. Maybe I'm looking at positions are only based in California, I can indicate that. Maybe I'm looking for data, positions that were specifically sponsored, that are only within the state. Again, the search results are going to yield that. I see some positions from Adobe, I see some Amazon of course, Lyft. There's going to be a few different opportunities for you to narrow down your search experience. You can also search by internships. If anyone here is trying to utilize their CPT, they can go ahead and can go ahead and indicate the search appropriately. You just have to say that you're looking for an internship and maybe if I want to continue looking for like a data type of internship or something. Now I'm presented with these different opportunities here, again, there's going to be some pretty familiar names. We still have that top 500 tag there. You're going to see General Motors or Dell. A lot of them will indicate if they're looking specifically for an undergrad intern or a summer intern. You can go ahead and again, fine tune your experience however you best see fit. But this is also a global job search platform for a lot of international folks. It's important to have a backup plan. I know for a lot of individuals that backup plan includes looking for opportunities abroad. Maybe in their home country. So, if you are looking at... if you want to search for opportunities both within the U.S. and maybe you're thinking about the UK. Or if you're from Thailand and you want to search for opportunities in Thailand, then all you have to do is just indicate it as such. If you're, maybe, from China and you want to search for opportunities both within the U.S. and back home, then you continue your search both within the U.S. and in China. There's going to be some pretty familiar names. Sometimes it just depends on how global the company is. Like IBM, they're hiring a position abroad, but they're also hired in the US. Same thing with JP Morgan Chase. You can also narrow it down by location. Maybe I'm specifically only looking within Beijing, then I can indicate it as such. Again, the search results will go ahead and be applicable for that, Those filters that I mentioned, those top 500 H-1B sponsors or top 1,000 H-1B sponsors or excuse me, the sponsored last year tag, those are US specific filters, those are going to go away. If you do change the country code, you can a search by region, you can still search by position type. You can also save each of these searches, which I definitely recommend students do. Especially if you are casting several different nets. Maybe you're looking for opportunities in Seattle and you're also looking for opportunities in Denver and Pittsburgh. You can save each of those searches. You just have to give it a title. Maybe you're looking for something like a business but Denver. And indicate If you want email notifications of new postings based on that search criteria, then every single time you log in, you can just go straight to your job alerts tab. I forgot I just made a new profile for this demo, Erica. I was like, Where are my job alerts? Anyways, on my other profile I have like 14 of them. The range by topic. They range by state. They range by country. But I say that as a way to demonstrate that if you are looking both domestically and internationally, that's a lot of information to just keep in your head all at once. And that would be a lot to just have to come to search every single time and remember what you're filtering for or remember what key words you're searching for. That can help keep you organized. Again, you can have as many or as few as you'd like. That could also be applicable for those who are maybe double majoring if you're majoring in business, but you're also majoring in public relations, you can have those different searches saved for those different majors that you're studying. Or if you have one of those majors that you can go into multiple different fields, then you can have those saved. A lot of times, there's going to be a little bit of a trial and error once you start searching. I do hear that from students, sometimes I'm studying communications. A lot of times you're not just going to type in communications in the search bar. Might take you a little bit to understand what exactly you are searching for. If you ever need guidance on that, I definitely recommend that you reach out to your advisors, your career services team, just to talk it through, are best prepared as you navigate the search. I saw a question in the Q & A asking, what is the source of these statistics? We are getting them primarily from the US Department of Labor. We're also getting them from ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement). But essentially, anytime that a U.S. company tries to sponsor someone from an international background, they have to report that information to the federal government. We essentially compile that information into a digestible format. A lot of companies aren't posting that information on those company career dashboards. Amazon is not posting what types of jobs they're sponsoring for, but they are legally required to report that information to the federal government. We take that information and compile it into, again, a more digestible format. I talked about the job alerts tab. This is also where you will have those saved jobs. I know I mentioned in my other profile, I have a lot of different saved searches. This looks a lot more full, but right now it's telling me it looks like you haven't saved any searches. So that's something I should do but that saved job at Spotify. I'm sure that's a fun company to work for. Any job that you have will be here. Sometimes you might come across and you're like, oh, I really like this, but I have to be somewhere in 20 minutes. You don't want to lose track of that. So you can just quickly star it and revisit it at a later time. The next tab that I want to talk about is the U.S. Visa Insights tab. This is essentially where students can go to search for opportunities, either by industry, by job classifications, by company specific to do their research, to see: one, does this company sponsor? Then what types of jobs are they sponsoring for? What type of experience level are they looking for those jobs? Do they have any open positions? Right here. Right here. Right now, I want to showcase a few different examples as to how folks can do that. Folks can search based on different visa type. The most coveted is the H-1B. So that is like the standard to go to. And right now, it's from high to low. I do see a question in the chat that says, can you explain how these jobs are sourced? Is it web scraped or companies submitting their positions? I'm seeing a lot of non-entry level positions. It is a blend. We're getting them from either employers directly, from company job boards directly, or different integrations that we have set up. In terms of the experience level two part answer for this: one, we are in the process of developing another filter for folks to be able to search by experience level. I just got in touch with our development team yesterday. We met as a team meeting and I asked them a status update as to when that's going to be unveiled. It is taking a little bit longer than expected to be able to implement that just because of essentially they have to build a system to be able to sort through all the different sources that we have. That takes a while. It's in the pipeline. I don't have an exact launch time for when that's going to be available, but that is something that is in the works. The part two to that is: for the different entry level types. A lot of folks are going to be coming in with a lot of different experience. If you're coming straight from undergrad, you're going to be more on the entry level side. But a lot of folks here maybe on this call took some time off between their undergraduate and their masters. Maybe they worked for 12 years, they're coming in with a lot more experience or maybe with some post doctoral students who did very similar things. Also for a lot of folks here, sponsorship might not be something you have to focus solely on when you venture into OPT and then also if you get that STEM OPT or maybe things change later down the road. But if you do, this might be something that you revisit in a few years. The ability to search on experience level will come, but you can also see the experience levels on the U.S. Visa Insights. I want to start off with our first example, which is Amazon. Just because Amazon is the number one sponsor for international folks, last year they sent out over 23,000 petitions alone. They offered essentially 23,000 jobs to international folks and said, hey, we are willing to sponsor. We are filing a petition to be able to sponsor you. But of that 23,000 here is the breakdown. I can see that they did over 5,000 alone for software engineer type of positions. If I'm a software engineer student, I see this information, this is great news for me. I clearly have no reservations as to whether or not Amazon is willing to sponsor for this type of role. If I were to click on that, then I can get a further breakdown in terms of are they looking more for entry level positions? Are they looking more for qualified? It looks like it's about 40% entry, 60% qualified. It shows the average salary for these types of positions that they're hiring for. There's going to be a little bit of a blurb for each company, as well as also a link to their LinkedIn. So, if you want to integrate or excuse me, if you want to check out their linked in, then you can go ahead and search to see who from Cornell is there. Or maybe if you want to connect with a recruiter or hiring manager. But this could be very helpful because maybe you're not a software engineer, maybe you're studying something else. Whether that is data analyst positions. I'm seeing a few different data roles or maybe business. I can see that they sponsor 400 folks last year for business type of positions, it's not as high as 4,000. Not as high as 5,000 but it's still a good chunk of folks. But each company is going to have a profile like this. This is where you can search by industry or by job classification or company specific, which can be really helpful as you are navigating your search experience. I want to play around with a few different examples. I'm going to switch them up because I feel like Erica, Stephanie, and Jess have heard me do the same examples over and over again. Let's do something by industry. Okay, there's a lot of different industries here. We got accounting, construction, some that come standard. But if we want to do, let's do video games. An interesting one, right? Video games, but here are different video game companies and you can see how these different companies have specifically sponsored. You can get a quick little snapshot again to see how often they're doing it. And again, it's sorted from high to low. Electronic Arts. They are one of the top sponsors within this industry. Again of that 232 petitions. Here is the breakdown. Seeing like some AI engineer roles, see data roles. See some game designer roles, marketing role. You could see again how often that these companies are sponsoring and for what types of jobs. Then if you like this company. Right now, I'm on petitions. If I scroll on over to open positions, I can see if they have any openings available here already. I'm seeing a software engineer role that specifically was sponsored. Um, I'm seeing a site reliability engineer that was sponsored. Okay, this one's interesting, people, relations and policy excellence intern. So, if you're maybe more on that PR side of things, this could be interesting for you to look at. Maybe I want to look at specifically only internships. Now I'm looking at specifically internships in this case at Electronic Arts. This could be really interesting for folks who are curious about moving forward, especially trying to gain some of that experience. You know, this company is internationally friendly. You can see that they've sponsored hundreds of individuals already. This could be an interesting thing to look at and be like, huh, maybe I want to enter here, maybe I want to move forward with that application. It looks like they have quite a lot of internships going on right now. Now, I want to be frank with you, with everyone here, not every company is going to have as many opportunities. Some are going to have more and some are going to have less. And sometimes it's going to depend on what time of year that you're looking for those opportunities. For example, within the field of academia, normally the academic year starts around July/August. A lot of times they are looking for people somewhere between the range of February to April. You might notice a lot more jobs are being posted within that industry during the first half of the year, as opposed to a lot of job postings happening in August and September because that's when the year has started. I want to mention that as a way that if you feel like if there's ever a moment where you're feeling discouraged or something, there's going to be some waves. There's going to be ebbs and flows. Sometimes a company is going to be hiring a lot. And sometimes a company might have a little bit of a standstill what they're hiring. And it's going to go back and forth. And I say that in the manner that I have done a lot of these demonstrations in the past, and even some of my consistent examples. Sometimes I notice, wow, this week they have, they sent out 40 job postings. And then sometimes I'll check it out and it'll say the last time they posted was eight days ago. And I'm like, okay, it's a little drier this week, but again, I'm going to stop going on my tangent. But back to the different examples. So, you can search by industry. We just gave that example of searching via video games. But you can also search by job classification and job titles. If I'm studying finance, which I was a finance minor, I can look at financial analysts and hit search. I know that all of these companies, specifically have hired financial analysts. Google hired 106 of them, or sponsored 106 international folks for financial analysts roles. Of course, there's going to be a lot of banking institutions, but if I want to click on one of these, let's go ahead and do Bank of America this time. Again, here is that breakdown in terms of how they are sponsoring. It looks like a lot of them are different associate positions, different analyst positions. For this analyst positions. I see they're looking mostly for entry level positions. That's exciting if you're coming in more with coming straight from undergrad. Again, if I like this company, let me see if there are any openings available here. And...already. kind of a lot. A lot of sponsored positions, specifically. To the comments earlier, this VP role, that's probably out of my range if I'm coming straight from undergrad. Maybe shoot your shot. But it will showcase exactly this associate role maybe a little bit more up my alley. But you can also search by company specific. So, if you come across the company or you come across a job and you're curious to know how that company has sponsored in the past. Right now we were searching by industry, I can just switch it on over to company and now search specifically for that company. I'm going to do my example from Wal-mart just because I think it is a really relevant example. Wal-mart right there are a big company, one of the biggest in the U.S. I can see that they've sponsored thousands of times last year alone. However, when we go to click on Wal-mart's example for the types of jobs that they're sponsoring, you'll see a pretty consistent theme here. You'll see software engineer, you'll see staff software engineer, data scientist, data engineer, data analysts, advanced analytics, quality engineer. This is all great news if I'm coming in from that data analyst, data engineer background. But if I'm communications or if I'm business or if I'm psychology, yes, I can see that Wal-mart has sponsored thousands of times. But they tend to do it from a particular lens. And this could be helpful for me to know ahead of time, so I'm not investing a lot of my time, my energy, into a pretty vulnerable process. If I know ahead of time that that company either doesn't have a history of sponsorship or if they do, they only tend to do it for certain fields. Again, I don't want to never say never, especially if you have a good connection with that company. If you've connected with the hiring manager, if you've interned with that company, absolutely, move forward with that opportunity. But this is good about how you can search by industry or how you can search by job types or job classification. So you know ahead of time you can almost like reverse search it. I did see something in the Q&A about asking for experience levels you can search by experience level on the Visa Insights. However, the experience level is just going to showcase the number breakdown of the jobs based on experience level. Going back to this quick example, just to showcase, we have them divided in entry, qualified experience. It'll showcase those numbers, but it's not going to showcase those jobs. Again, we're still working on that ability to search for jobs specifically on experience level. But that's still in the works if you're wondering as to okay, well, what does entry mean? What's the difference between entry and qualified? We do have a Help Center at the top right. This is where you can find all that information on. We were on the U.S. Visa Insights and here, what do the different job experience levels mean? And here's that breakdown. Oh, and I just got a chat saying, can you define that we are on the same page. But that's a little bit as to how the search jobs and the U.S. Visa insight side differ from one another. The search jobs, again, is more of your general search where you can utilize those different filters available. And the Visa Insights is more of your research into determining does this company sponsor for what types of jobs, what type of experience level, and then do they have any openings? The last section on the job dashboard is the Country Insights. Again, is this portal is mostly centered for that international student experience. However, a lot of domestic students still use this for their job search opportunity as well. Especially if maybe they're looking, they want to search for opportunities within a specific company, they can use the Visa Insights tab for that. But if anyone here is a domestic student, or obviously an international student who is curious in an international experience, you can check out the Country Insights to see any of these countries and see what it would be like to live and work and immigrate abroad to that country. Obviously, most people here understand what that's like. And, but if you maybe are opening up your job search into the U.S. and you also want to look at Australia. You can come over here to find different information like city guides that are available or information on cost of living, statistics or healthcare information, or what kind of visas and work permits or travel advisories that there are. Again, this is available for every country. This could be helpful too, especially...I want to bring back my example from my supervisor, Nitin. So, in his job search journey, he got a job. The company was willing to sponsor him, sent out a petition on his behalf. The visa lottery process did not work out in his favor. However, that company had multiple different offices around the globe, and they were essentially like, you can work in Brazil, you can work in London. And he decided to work in London for a couple of years and then transferred back to the U.S. That's actually very common for a lot of international folks, especially if you're applying for jobs with these big companies. A lot of them do have global offices. But maybe if that's a predicament where you are okay, like I got a job at this company. But now I'm wondering, should I go to this country? Should I go to that country? You can do a little bit of your research here just to get the ball rolling on what you feel like is going to be best for you. Okay, so that's the Jobs dashboard. Again, I'm already realizing where we are time-wise, but I'm going to quickly cruise through the rest of the sections just to provide a little bit of insight. The next part that I want to talk about is the Network. The Network is an opt in opt out feature that folks can create if anyone's here and they see themselves. Hello, I invited myself on the Cornell side of things. I'm noticing the different faces and names compared to my normal demos. But when you first create your account, it'll ask you, do you want your profile visible to the network? Just to confirm the network is only within the Cornell community. You'll only see fellow Cornell students, faculty, staff, and alumni. If you do not want your profile visible to the network. That is totally fair. That is up to your discretion. And if you want to change that later on, you can go to your profile settings and the show profile. So you can have it be open to the network or closed to the network. You'll see that all my profile details are very blank. Because again, I just created this one. This can be really helpful, especially if you're from a certain country. Maybe you're from...and you want to meet fellow students who are also from that country. If you want to see someone be like, oh, you're from India, I'm from India. Maybe let's make some food together. Try to get some crappy food somewhere nearby. You could do something like that, but this is a good way for students to be able to connect with one another. You can use some of the filters that we have to be able to search based on degree, type, or majors. If you feel like you're a couple months into the year and you're like, I'm not feeling as connected as I would like to be. Give this a shot. There's a messaging feature on the portal. You can message folks, say hi, maybe see if they want to connect sometime. So, a little bit of social media embedded into the portal. And we also do have these groups called topics. Topics are like Facebook groups. They're groups centered around specific topics. And a lot of them are, a lot of them come standard with Interstride. But if this is something where you want to create your own topic you or if you want to follow one, you can go ahead and hit Follow. Or you can create your own if this is something where you want it to be like a working group or a place among friends. And it can be open to the network or it can be closed. If you want this to be, I don't know, super secret student association, whatever that may be, then you can set that up, it's closed to the network and folks have to be invited to that. Some additional features that we have are on the learned tab. After the jobs one, personally, the learned tab is my next favorite one. I think there's a lot of good information available here. Everything from different webinars and we as an organization are throwing on somewhere between the range of four to 12 webinars every month. And you'll see that those webinars are going to range in topics from, either we have like an alumni speaker series. And these alumni are speaking about things such as their, their experiences navigating certain visas or their experience navigating a certain job field. We have a job and internship search strategy for international students. We do different monthly tutorials on the platform and I lead those. We talk about...I know I mentioned Canada a couple times as a backup plan. We partner with the Canadian Embassy to deliver information as to what it would mean to live and work and immigrate to Canada through the Express Entry process. Some good information to check out, some of them are kind of niche like this Immigration Option for Nurses, that's a little specific. Or some of them are pretty broad, Like the job search strategy for international students, that's meant to cover everyone. But if any of our webinars, if you couldn't attend for any reason, then our recorded webinars will go ahead and be here. We just had one a couple of days ago based on family based immigration overview or we just had a interesting alumni event. Talk about how someone went from being a film major to now being a data scientist at Dr. Pepper. Some cool stuff to check out if you ever have the time. Or, if you just want to do some research or maybe if you're a little bored and you want to look up a webinar. We have different courses available. Check those out. Some of them are being edited. They may look a little different as we go through different resources available here. You'll see some specific resources that are Cornell specific. Some of them we have provided, some of them are a blend. You can check these out. Again, if you're ever looking to find out information on these different categories. We have different things like videos or PDFs or articles, so free to check them out on your own time. We have different student services, so things that you can find like scholarships for international students, things of that nature. Then lastly, we have our tools section, and this includes things like a career game plan. This was developed by the National Association of Colleges and Employers. They did a national survey for recruiters and asked what characteristics are you looking for in new hires? They identified these as the eight most common characteristics. This self assessment lets you know where you lie within those characteristics and also gives you resource to be able to study up on those and maybe improve upon them. I really like this because I tell students all the time, use this as a study guide. One of the big things that we hear from both international students as well as also from employers that sometimes a hiccup in the process is the language barrier in the interview process. You want to make sure that you can confidently and professionally describe yourself within that interview setting and this can give you that tool set, this can give you the vernacular to be able to articulately do so. So, I definitely recommend just using this as a study guide or even as like a boost of confidence. If you know, you have an interview in a little bit and you're like, okay, let me get things going, let me get the creative juices flowing in my head. You can check out some of those articles or resources just to spark that. I did get a direct message to me that says, it is Interstride just for Cornell students. Interstride is not just for Cornell students. We are at a few hundred different institutions right now. They range but the ability to network, that's the ability to like, message each other and stuff that's just for Cornell. You'll only see other Cornell students in that regard. Then lastly, we have different checklists. Everything from the job search process to the international job search process, the interview. And you can customize these. So this is something that you want to...So: reminder to send. Thank you emails by October 15th, whatever that may be. You can customize these tasks. You can delete it and it'll go away. So, another little tool to help keep you accountable in your process, but that is the portal. In a nutshell. I know there was a lot of time together and a lot of information, a couple things. One, I do hear a lot of feedback, that it is pretty intuitive, it's new. So there's going to be a little bit of a learning curve in that regard. But I recommend that you play around with it and do that trial and error and see what is working best for you. The three biggest takeaways that I could give everyone in this call in terms of probably why you should use this for your own personal search is one, the ability to search for opportunities using those filters that were designed specifically for international students like that top 500 H-1B, sponsored last year. Those filters available. The second one would definitely be the U.S. Visa insights. This is a very unique thing and we get one of our highest forms of feedback on that section of the portal. Again, just because that information, it's difficult to find online or if there are sites that do it, you have to pay to be able to see them. Thankfully, the Cornell team essentially did that for you on your behalf. This is free for all students. This is a resource specifically designed for you. But again, the second one would definitely be that U.S. Visa Insights tab, so you know ahead of time who's sponsoring how they're sponsoring, and if there's any openings there, then the last one I would say is just the myriad of resources that are available on the portal. There's quite a lot. Again, that's why I say maybe if you just have a bored Sunday or something, or even if it's part of a classroom assignment to do something career-readiness focused, this could be a great landing page to just start that. But I definitely encourage you to check this out. But most importantly, if you do have some specific questions regarding either your career readiness or immigration, anything within those categories, please please visit your campus, campus offices who are here to support you in that regard. Again, they're here for you in that sense. So we want to make sure that sometimes there are hyper specific questions that are only related to you Interstride can't answer that question on your behalf but the folks at your university can. That is the end of my spiel. Thank you so much, Kendall. Thank you again to everyone who attended and to Jess and Stephanie for joining in. I want to quickly Plug that there's a Career Q&A next week, Hersh Sisodia will join me to answer questions via Zoom. Same time! Both about international student work permission and just career questions in general. So, feel free to come and bring your questions. You can also schedule a one on one appointment with me,  not just me! But with me or another career advisor by visiting Career.Cornell.edu. And have a good evening everyone.
