22. COOPERATIVE
EDUCATIONHow and When to
TALK to Employers
about CPT & OPT
The reason for this Module:
International Students can’t assume
that employers understand
immigration laws or know what
approvals are necessary to prove
employment eligibility. Knowing
what you can and can’t do could be
the difference in whether or not you
get hired or maintain proper
immigration status in the U.S.
23. The Big Catch!
• Students who use 365 days or more of CPT during their degree program
lose eligibility for OPT.
• Students who use up to 364 days of CPT during their degree program
are fully eligible for OPT and potentially STEM OPT after graduation.
24. This means that YOU can tell employers…
• Students in any major who preserve their OPT during their program of
study can tell employers, “I can work for you for up to one year after
graduation without sponsorship.”
• Students in STEM majors who preserve their OPT during their program of
study can tell employers, “I can work for you for up to three years after
graduation without sponsorship.”
25. TALK to employers about CPT/OPT when…
… when a recruiter asks, “Let me know if you receive an offer from another
employer”, you’re under serious consideration: TALK
…when a recruiter starts framing their comments as “when you start”
they’re picturing a future with you in it: TALK
…when managers start imagining what you can contribute to their teams,
your status changes to The One: TALK
…when a recruiter moves past what you have to offer and starts selling you
on what the company has to offer: TALK
…when you get introduced to people you would be working with and being
seriously checked out: TALK
…when the interview runs overtime and they’re still listening, that’s a good
sign they’re ready to have the - TALK

26. HOW to have the TALK on CPT/OPT with employers
Keep in mind:
• Self-Disclosure: US employers expect/value self-disclosure in an interview,
although because you have values of another culture, this might be
considered an invasion of privacy.
• Self Promotion: US employers expect assertiveness, confidence in openly
discussing your goals and expectations, where you may view citing these
need and wants as self-serving.
• Future Sense of Self: US employers expect you to see a clear path to a
coop/work for them, but are themselves hesitant simply because they are
uninformed about the process of hiring you (cost, time, paperwork, etc.).
So, just tell them how easy it is to hire you now. Remember: with 3 years of
STEM OPT, you can be a “no-cost employee”!
