Hi, I’m Mansi – A Student in the U.S. with Mastek’s Intelligent Job Connect as My Guide
I’m a recent B.Tech graduate from India, and I’ve just started my studies at a university in the United States. As an international student, I’m excited about this journey, but I have a million questions! Thankfully, my university has Mastek’s Intelligent Job Connect—a virtual assistant that helps me at every step, answering my questions and guiding me through this complex process.
Finding the Right Course for My Future
One of the first things I asked Intelligent Job Connect was, “What courses should I consider based on my B.Tech degree?” The bot asked about my interests, career goals, and academic background, then suggested fields like data science, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence. It provided insights into job prospects and career paths, helping me feel confident in my choice.
Admissions and Application Guidance
Navigating the application process was another big task, so I asked Intelligent Job Connect, “What exam scores do I need to submit?” It gave me a list of common requirements, like GRE and TOEFL scores, along with recommended ranges for competitive programs. It also listed supporting documents, like recommendation letters and statements of purpose, and set reminders for my submission deadlines. With Intelligent Job Connect, I felt prepared and organized from the start.
Finding the Perfect Housing
As an international student, housing was a big priority, so I asked, “What housing options are available?” Intelligent Job Connect quickly displayed a variety of on-campus and off-campus options with details on rent, amenities, and commute times. I could filter based on my budget and personal preferences, which helped me find a comfortable place to live that felt like home.
Balancing Studies and Part-Time Jobs
Since many international students work part-time to support themselves, I asked, “Are there any part-time jobs for students on campus?” Intelligent Job Connect listed options available to international students, including roles like library assistant and IT support, and explained the policies around work eligibility. It suggested lab assistant roles that would let me earn money while gaining practical experience—exactly what I needed!
Internships and Job Opportunities on Campus
To get started on my career, I wanted to learn about internships, so I asked, “What are the upcoming career fairs or company events on campus?” Intelligent Job Connect provided a calendar of all the recruitment events, internship fairs, and career counselling workshops. It gave tips on making a strong impression, helping me prepare to network and connect with companies directly from campus.
Job Preparation with Real-Time Assistance
When I came across job listings on LinkedIn, I could ask Intelligent Job Connect, “How can I be eligible for this role?” I could upload job descriptions, and the bot would analyze the requirements, telling me which skills or certifications to pursue. For instance, if I needed Python skills, it recommended courses and online certifications, keeping me on track and making sure I was building the exact skills needed for my career goals.
Resume and Application Support
The U.S. job market can be competitive, so when it came time to apply, I asked, “How should I create a resume that stands out?” Intelligent Job Connect provided templates and tips for writing resumes and cover letters specific to U.S. standards. It also had an application tracker that let me keep an eye on all my job applications and deadlines while sending reminders for follow-ups. With Intelligent Job Connect’s support, the application process became less intimidating.
Visa and Wellness Guidance
International students have unique needs, so I also asked about visa requirements. Intelligent Job Connect gave me clear information on visa renewals, work restrictions, and forms needed to submit. When I asked about health resources, it connected me to the campus counselling centre, providing tips for managing stress, which helped me maintain balance and stay focused on my studies.
Building a Professional Network
Finally, knowing the importance of networking, I asked how to start building connections in my field. Intelligent Job Connect suggested ways to connect with alumni, join student groups, and attend industry events. It gave tips on reaching out to professionals on LinkedIn, helping me make valuable connections that support my career growth.
