FAQ
F-1, OPT, STEM OPT, H-1B-track search, matching, applications, resumes, support, and billing. Clear limits. No visa guarantees.
Search-focused answers for international students using Jobhunger across F-1, OPT, STEM OPT, and H-1B-track job searches.
International students and early-career professionals in the United States searching under F-1, OPT, STEM OPT, or H-1B-track constraints. The product is built around visa-aware matching, role-specific resumes, and application tracking.
Create an account with Google or email, complete onboarding with your status, target roles, and resume, then review matched roles. After you unlock applications, our team prepares and submits on employer sites while you track status in the portal.
Many employers ask for U.S. contact details. Use the contact information you will also put on applications. Jobhunger does not invent a U.S. address or phone number for you.
Yes. Many candidates build a profile, tailor resumes, and shortlist roles while still on F-1 or in the grace period. Timing for when you can start work is still governed by your authorization documents and employer policy.
No. The workflow supports a wide range of roles. Matching quality is highest when your resume, skills, and target titles are specific.
No. Jobhunger surfaces public filing history and sponsorship language as evidence, not a guarantee. Always confirm work authorization and sponsorship policy with the employer and your DSO or immigration counsel.
F-1 (including CPT where relevant to your search), OPT, STEM OPT, and H-1B-track contexts. Set your current status and target timeline in your profile so role scoring can account for work authorization.
Jobhunger helps you find and prepare applications. It does not replace USCIS rules on unemployment days, employer reporting, or EAD validity. Track your OPT clock with your DSO and official documents.
We can prioritize roles and employers that historically hire STEM OPT candidates or publish sponsorship language. Final STEM OPT eligibility depends on your degree CIP code, Form I-983 training plan, and employer qualifications under DHS rules.
Public DOL LCA filings and language found on career pages or job posts. Data is updated periodically and can lag. Treat it as a signal for further research, not proof the employer will sponsor you.
Those roles are usually poor fits for F-1/OPT candidates. Matching is designed to down-rank or flag roles with clear citizenship-only restrictions when that language is detected.
Follow the employer's questions honestly. Many forms ask whether you need future sponsorship. Jobhunger prepares consistent answers from your profile for our team to use when submitting.
You can prepare and submit applications if your status allows job search activity, but work start dates must match your authorization. Confirm Cap-Gap, grace period, and start-date rules with your DSO.
No. Jobhunger is a job-search workspace, not immigration legal advice. For status questions, speak with your DSO or a licensed immigration attorney.
Matches use your background, skills, target roles, location preferences, work authorization, and available employer visa signals. A single score is paired with reasons so you can decide where to spend time.
Primarily company career pages and listed sources in our catalog. We focus on openings you can apply to through the employer workflow, not scraped spam boards.
Skills fit is only one axis. Work authorization, seniority, location, and employer sponsorship history can make an otherwise relevant role a weak use of your OPT window.
Yes. Use visa and employer-signal filters where available, then verify the posting and company policy yourself before investing in a tailored application.
Sources refresh on a recurring schedule. Exact timing varies by employer site. Check your feed regularly during active search weeks.
Yes. Jobhunger prepares tailored materials and our employees submit on employer sites for you. You track progress, replies, and interviews in your dashboard.
Those numbers describe plan capacity for prepared, role-targeted applications during the plan period. They are not guarantees of interviews or offers, and quality still depends on your profile.
Education, work history, visa status answers, links, and fields from the selected resume variant when the employer form supports them.
Yes. Tell support or your manager if you need to pause, lower volume, or change target roles. You can also save, watch, or skip roles in your feed.
No. Nothing you submit carries Jobhunger branding. Employers see your materials and the answers you approve.
Some portals are heavily customized. Jobhunger still helps with the tailored resume and tracked checklist. You may need to complete a few fields manually.
You keep one master resume. For each role, Jobhunger can build a focused variant that emphasizes real experience aligned to the posting. Skills and titles are not invented.
No. Rewrites stay grounded in what you provided. If something is missing from your background, it should not appear as a claim on the tailored resume.
Variants emphasize keywords and structure that appear in the job description when they match your real experience. ATS tools vary by employer, so clarity and honesty still matter more than keyword stuffing.
Yes. Upload what you have. During onboarding and profile editing you can restructure dates, GPA presentation, and formatting for U.S. recruiter expectations.
Usually keep sponsorship details for application forms unless the employer asks on the resume. Be consistent across LinkedIn, forms, and interviews.
Guidance on search strategy, resume focus, and interview preparation for international candidates. Availability depends on your plan and current coaching capacity.
Structured lessons on U.S. hiring, resumes, interviews, and visa-aware search practices. Classes complement the product workflow; they do not replace legal advice.

Two plans: a one-week plan for 150+ applications and a monthly plan for 600+ applications. Limited-time pricing and struck-through list prices are shown on the pricing page and can change when an offer is active.

Yes, from account settings. Access continues until the current billing period ends.
Plan capacity is for the active period. Confirm current rollover rules in billing settings or with support before renewing.
Refund eligibility depends on the plan terms at purchase and whether the billing period has started meaningful use. Contact support with your account email for a case-by-case review.
Your candidate workspace is for you and authorized Jobhunger staff supporting your search. We do not sell your resume to employers as a public marketplace listing.
Yes. Contact support or use account settings where available. Some records may be retained where required for billing, security, or legal obligations.
No. You can sign up with email. Google is offered for faster signup on the candidate portal.
Reviews
Built for international students navigating U.S. hiring. Honest about visa limits. Focused on matches you can actually pursue.
“The visa signals next to each role saved me weeks of applying to jobs that never sponsor. Clear product, honest about what it cannot guarantee.”
