Best college for international business major?

International Students: I'm about to graduate from college as a Business major, what should I focus on to get sponsored by a company?

• I'm an international senior Business Major student that is about to graduate from one of the California State Universities. I already applied for my OPT in which I will be able to work for one year. However, I will need to get sponsored by the company around April or else I would have to go back to my country, which I highly dislike. I would do anything to just stay here, because I love U.S, especially California. I was wondering what should I be focusing on in terms of a specific skill so that my chance to get sponsored by the company and approved by the government can be higher?

• Answer:

  make sure you understand your priorities then focus on the top one. Seems to me what you need for your first job is their willingness to sponsor your H1B...so forget about pay, brand name, or how much you like the job...get a list of H1B sponsoring companies (it's available online), then start looking for opportunities available at those companies. There is no one killer skill that would solve your problem, going your way out to get a job will. The other thing you should be cautious about is not to be hung up by pay, brand name etc, those are secondary priorities to the company's willingness to keep you.
