CAREER FEST: Careers in the Patents Field
Wed, Jan 28, 2015 @ 09:30 AM - 10:30 AM
Viterbi School of Engineering Career Connections
Workshops & Infosessions
If you have (or will soon have) a degree in engineering, computer sciences, or the hard sciences (chemistry, biology, physics and related disciplines), you can take the Patent Office’s Registration Exam to become a Patent Agent. Patent agents can make up to $20,000 a year more than similarly situated engineers and scientists. The Exam is available virtually on-demand via computer. Becoming a patent agent can also be a step toward the even more lucrative career of becoming a Patent Attorney.
If this sounds intriguing, come join Practising Law Institute (PLI) for a presentation by Mark Dighton, PLI's Director of Law School Relations and a Director of their Patent Office Exam Course. Topics for discussion include:
• Careers for patent agents (what the work is like and where you find it), and
• The latest info on the Patent Office’s Registration Exam (who can take it, how it works, and recommendations on how to study for this very difficult Exam).
If you can't make the morning presentation, join us at the Law School presentation in the afternoon.

What Every International Student Should Know About U.S. Employment
Wed, Jan 28, 2015 @ 04:30 PM - 06:30 PM
Viterbi School of Engineering Career Connections
Receptions & Special Events
Are you interested in learning about how H-1B sponsorship happens from the inside? Dan Beaudry, former head of campus recruiting at Monster.com and author of The International Student’s Guide to Finding a Job in the United States will share powerful job search strategies used by many international students to find U.S. employment. Learn how to:
Secure H-1B sponsorship at companies that have a policy against sponsoring H-1B visas.
Find a job before anyone else. Eighty percent of open jobs are never advertised but there are ways to find them.
Bypass Human Resources, it is often an obstacle instead of a conduit to finding a U.S. job.
Invest your time wisely. Submitting resumes online is not an effective use of your time.
