Mission: Inspire successful professionals in the U.S. to become International Student advocates; to more readily respond to International Students’ attempts to network, and to actively engage the International Student population with mentorship and career support. As an International Student himself, Sammy Hejazi struggled to find his first job in the U.S., fumbled at creating social connections, and lost a few years of career progress as he tried to create a life in this country. It took a few years of working in the U.S. for him to get embedded in the culture. As he grew more comfortable, he noticed that his adapting was correlated with improved performance at work. And it wasn’t just him . . . many International Students who learned to navigate the culture also started to boost their status at work. What’s the key to navigating U.S. culture? Improving communication and people skills. (Easier said than done) There is a large gap in practical training material, tools and coaching that is tailor made for International Students. More importantly, International Students struggle to access the community of successful, ex-International Students, for guidance and career support. These gaps are despite most universities depending on income from International Student tuitions, and tech companies depending on foreign talent! Students spend hundreds of thousands of dollars and the majority of their time to learn everything but these skills … while Americans focus and emphasize these skills from as early as kindergarten! ISH is on a mission to change all of that. Starting with our eBook and LIVE training sessions, we want to help ALL International Students succeed in their U.S career journeys. We sincerely believe in their ability to be top performers in the jobs they choose, and we want to help them “show” their skills and make the right impression, to get that job and build a career they can be proud of.
