How do I find a job?
IU has resources to help you find a job—on or off campus.
Interstride
Interstride is a global career development platform created exclusively for international students. From internships and H-1B eligible dream jobs to an expansive resource library, get your global career questions answered with Interstride.
Job fairs
Career Services makes it easy to find job fairs and other career events at various times during the year.
Classified ads
The Indiana Daily Student (IDS) newspaper lists jobs in its classified section. Look for hourly, on-campus jobs (unless you qualify for off-campus employment).
University employers
Potential on-campus employers include:
- Residence halls (cafeterias, center stores, etc.)
- Indiana Memorial Union (many different positions)
- Wells Library and school libraries
- Museums
- Recreational sports (referees, supervisors, etc.)
Academic departments
Many IU departments and offices fill their open positions directly (rather than listing their job opportunities with Career Services). Contact your academic unit and professors for possible job openings.
Important information about working while in the United States
To remain in status, it is extremely important that you follow the federal regulations regarding employment. It is a serious violation of your legal status to work without authorization.
Finding employment after you graduate
If you want to find a job after graduating from IU, the IU Immigration Bridge Program can help you get an offer by making the visa process easier for potential employers. You can begin the bridge program once you have a solid job opportunity in the United States.
