Services Built for the International Student Journey
At Plus 5XP, we help international students and universities navigate one of the toughest challenges in higher education: turning a degree into a meaningful career under work authorization constraints.
Whether you're an international student on OPT or a university career team looking to serve your students more effectively, our services are built around one goal: helping international talent get hired.
One-on-One Coaching for Students
Personalized career guidance tailored to your visa status, career goals, and market realities.
We help students:
- Build a job-ready resume and LinkedIn profile that gets responses
- Understand where the market demand is — and where to focus applications
- Prepare for interviews and employer conversations with confidence
- Strategically navigate the job search while on OPT, CPT, or PGWP
- Position themselves for H1B sponsorship or long-term work authorization
You’ll leave with a real plan, not generic advice — and the support to act on it.
Workshops & RFQs for Schools
We partner with career services teams to deliver high-impact workshops focused on international student outcomes.
Each workshop is designed to address the real challenges your students face — from employment readiness to visa strategy — and is customized based on your institution’s needs.
Workshop topics include:
- Navigating OPT, STEM OPT, CPT, and PGWP
Resume and LinkedIn Optimization - Industry-Specific Job Search Strategies
- Visa-Aware Career Planning
- Live Coaching and Q&A Sessions
We work under RFQs or as external collaborators. Outcomes are clear, measurable, and tailored to your student population.
Strategic Career Navigation
Where do you want to work? What’s your long-term plan? How does that align with your visa options?
This isn’t just about “getting a job.” It’s about building a strategic, sustainable career path — one that fits your skills, your immigration timeline, and the evolving North American job market.
We help students and institutions:
- Analyze which industries are hiring international talent
- Understand timelines for OPT, CPT, PGWP, and H1B
- Avoid common pitfalls that lead to expired visas or missed opportunities
- Build confidence in choosing the right direction
Our strategy is grounded in real market data — not generic career counseling.
Career Navigation through OPT, CPT, H1B, PGWP
Whether you're an international student looking for a job strategy that works, or a university professional exploring career programming support, you're in the right place.
How We Help
- Create a resume and LinkedIn profile that gets callbacks
- Target the right employers — especially those open to hiring international talent
- Pitch yourself clearly, even with visa constraints
- Build a job search routine that actually works
