Here are some links for tips on how to negotiate for higher pay:

  • Common Questions for working in the US after graduation

You do not have to do this; there is no need to disclose the status on your resume. However, in general if someone asks, you should tell them your status!

  • Usually, wait until an employer asks. But, find out if the company has petitioned for visas in the past.
    • According to Georgetown, you can always ask this question before the interview: 鈥淚s this a position in which the company is willing to petition for an H1-B as I am currently in F-1 status?鈥
  • What are employers allowed/not allowed to ask?
    • The following is taken directly from Georgetown University:
      • Employers MAY NOT ask: 鈥淲hat is your visa type, nationality, place of birth?鈥 or 鈥淥f which country are you a citizen?鈥 or 鈥淲hat is your native language?鈥 or 鈥淲hat language do you most often speak?鈥
      • Employers MAY ask: 鈥淎re you legally authorized to work in the United States?鈥 or 鈥淲ill you now or in the future require sponsorship for an employment visa?鈥 or 鈥淲hich languages do you read, speak or write?鈥 (provided that foreign language skills are job related)

According to Georgetown, 鈥淓xplain that you have the legal right to work in the U.S. for up to twelve months using Optional Practical Training (OPT) following graduation. The employer does not need to do anything in order for this to happen. If you have graduated with a degree in one of the STEM (Sciences, Tech, Engineering, and Math) fields, then share that you are eligible for a 24-month STEM extension of your OPT. If you do not have a degree in a STEM field or if you鈥檝e completed your STEM extension, you should explain that your work authorization may be authorized for another three-to-six years with H-1B status. If the employer asks for more information, you should be able to clearly explain the H-1B process.鈥

Now, laws vary from state to state, but these factors generally include marital status, family obligations including whether you have children or other caretaking responsibilities, national origin or race, age, gender, sexual preference and any disabilities or health conditions."

Tips for Everyone

It is against the law for employers to discriminate against its employees on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, religion, disability, pregnancy, and age.

Here are some links that provide information on illegal interview questions:

 

Inappropriate Questions

  • Some interviewers are not trained properly, and may be genuinely asking you inappropriate interview questions just to create conversation. However, some people ask these questions because they have hidden biases, and plan to use the information you give them in the hiring process.
  • Some people may ask questions surrounding these topics outright, and others may ask them in a more 鈥渟tealthy鈥 way, and it鈥檚 good to be prepared for both.
  • In answering these questions, a lot of it will rely on your personal judgement call: is this person innocently asking me this question, or no?
    • If you believe they are innocently asking you a question, it is probably best to just deflect the question. For example, if someone asks you about the origin of your last name and where you are from, you can say something like, “Oh, I consider myself to be from Syracuse! I鈥檝e lived here for a long time.鈥
    • If you believe that they are not innocently asking you the question, you can politely decline to answer the question. An example of this may be, “I don鈥檛 really think that question is relevant right now, but I would love to tell you more about my experience in programming.鈥

Unfortunately, this may hurt your chances of receiving the job. However, if a company can鈥檛 look past this brief awkward moment, it may be a quality you would want to consider in whether you would like to work for them, anyways.
