		<description><![CDATA[At most of my presentations, students ask me how they can find contacts in order to put the Power Ties system into practice and find a U.S. job.  I tell everyone to start with their school&#8217;s alumni directory &#8211; particularly if they can find alumni who were international students themselves and went through a similar U.S. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Whenever I give a presentation on my book, I mention at the beginning that not all international students will be willing to follow the system that I outline.  The system involves reaching out to people you don&#8217;t know, taking some risks and stepping outside of your comfort zone.  The system works, but most people looking [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I had a chat with a former international student last night about his successful path to getting H-1B sponsorship.  Like many international students in the U.S. he graduated from his degree program without a full time job offer and had to quickly find employment before the 90 day limit on his F-1 visa.  Because of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m frequently asked whether it&#8217;s ok to have an informational interview with someone by phone.  It&#8217;s always best to have a face to face meeting; that&#8217;s what&#8217;s going to help you build a relationship with someone.  But if you can&#8217;t secure one (and often times it&#8217;s just not practical to meet someone in person), then [...]]]></description>
