Alina Sun - Supply Chain Analyst, Praxair

M.S. in Supply Chain Management, Syracuse University

While searching for jobs myself, I must have applied for more than a thousand jobs without any luck. Even when I got lots of interviews and landed into the final rounds, I couldn’t seal the deal. It is Kwan who helped me turn it all around and break all the barriers! I received 2 job offers after 16 days of joining the ICAway intensive program.

Silvia Tran - Mechanical Design Engineer, Honeywell Intelligrated

B.S. in Mechanical Engineering, Penn State University

“Kwan taught me to rewrite my resume from scratch. I learned how to include keywords and highlight my skills in my public profiles. After that, I received so many responses from recruiters. I think the response rate increased by at least 80%, and I would get calls from agencies and companies asking if I was interested in certain positions every day.”

Jerome Thomas - Supply Chain Intern, Schlumberger

M.S. in Mechanical Engineering, University of Cincinnati

“I have learned that there is a lot more to networking than just going to meetings—there are opportunities everywhere. I love the fact that Kwan gives us real-life examples and gives us solutions that are actually helpful. She goes deep into the problem and makes everything relatable since it is tailored to international students.”

“I was very lucky to have met Kwan when I was in my graduate school. Kwan has used her HR professional skills and knowledge to help me tie my stories to Knowledge, Skills and Abilities that the employers are looking for. I got a job offer as a business analyst at global bank in NY a month before I graduated.”
