MBA找工作真是绝对看个人

What determines your chance to get job offers is really dempendent on personal ability!

I know a girl who has just got a good IT consulting offer with salary>70k USD and good benefit. You can't even see her MBA program among the top 100!

Her status is like below:

Born in 80's, undergraduate in a famous u in China majored in English, got full scholarship (including living stipend) and admitted directly to the MBA program without any w.e. The MBA U is in a big city in US. And she had two par-time jobs in this city. She said she earned almost the same as a full time job! And she led a really happy life when she studied. She even traveled in Europe last December. And I think she is very lovely and nice. When she looked for jobs, her colleagues in her part-time job company even motivated their relatives and friends to help her!

Now she is only less than 25 years old!

Is it illegal to work outside campus for a student holding F1 (Except summer job)?? And she even did two part-time !!! If INS knows, she will be in big trouble...

I believe she will have a lot of opportunities to try different things. I found in my company that personal ability is just one thing, communications skill is really important. Those good at communication can get better opportunities.

That girl majored in English, and concerntrated on IT management in MBA program. Do you think she has advantage on professional skill? I don't think so. I just think her communications skill and oral English helped her a lot. In fact, a lot of professional skills are not so hard to learn. If you work hard, you will grasp them in the work. But personal communication is really hard to learn.

因为美国好像有规定，Ｆ１签证每周工作不能超过20个小时，因为这个女孩拿的scholarship是完全不用工作就可以拿到钱的，所以她的两份part time job的工作时间加起来不超过20个小时就没有违反规定。

这是不对的。F1不可以去校外打工，无论是多少小时。除非你申请CPT或者OPT。

我没有记错的话，她的一份工作是华人的公司，另一份工作是在州政府。

具体情况还真是不清楚。我想可能是学校和公司、政府之间有协议或什么的。

我hubby说了关于CPT、intern的一堆规定，他的意思是可以（分fellowship啊什么），但因为没有查法律条文，所以我不敢断定。

但我想既然在州政府打工，一定不会违反有关的规定的。

不过这些都是细节啦。：）

1. "she had two par-time jobs in this city. She said she earned almost the same as a full time job!"; 2."所以她的两份part time job的工作时间加起来不超过20个小时就没有违反规定。"

每周加起来不超过20个小时， 就可以挣到 full-time 那末多钱吗？？可能你的意思是说，把part-time 的钱和学校给的 stipend 的钱一共加起来的有full-time 那末多吧？？

如果我没有记错的话，美国的F1 是不可以校外合法工作的（summer internship 除外）， 加拿大的学生签证也不可以合法校外工作的；但英国可以工作20 小时/周...

to lili2004: 当然是加上学校给她的living stipend(大于1k每月）。

她搞到 H1B 了吗？如果排名100的 MBA 也能搞到 H1B 的话，她的运气真得很好呀。
