Looking at other students from the Middle East graduating from my school, I see a similar trend: Those applying for internships and full-time jobs while still in the US as students will get interviews and offers, while those who were in the US and went back home have much more trouble returning. Simply put, the cost of interviewing an international student outside the US is high enough, that often times it isn't worth the cost to find out if a candidate is worth it. Even before that, it is much easier to meet the candidate in person and decide if they are worthy of an offer: you can simply conduct campus interviews or fly them over in a (cheaper) domestic flight. Part of it is that the paperwork is easier: an international student with an F1 visa studying at a known American university can simply apply for a CPT (Curricular Practical Training) authorization and be allowed to work. Students from all nationalities who study in a US university will have a much easier time getting a summer internship at these companies. While companies like Microsoft, Facebook, and Google are usually fine with sponsoring students for J1 or H1B visas, it makes a huge different whether the student is applying from within the US or not. A lot of the answers here are on track but let me give my view and what I've seen from my friends and colleagues' experience. I'm also an Arab, from Jordan (granted, my name is not Mohamed). With no points shown it's now rather harder to be sure, or to do experiments.

I know it used to, but I was sure I'd seen a comment from the mods saying that the effect had been removed. I'd be interested to know for sure what effect a contributor's karma has on their comment ranking. it sits at the top because of your massive karma.Īctually it now has 18 points. I don't see why that should have changed at all, but I'd be very interested in learning why you claim that the cover letter is completely irrelevant. > cover letter, so your comment is just off by aĪre you sure about that? It's been a long time since I had much to do with internships as opposed to job applications, but it always seemed to me that the cover letter was the hook that made me want to check the CV to see if there was evidence supporting the claims made. > absolutely positively has nothing to do with the > position in the US while being in Egypt.
