Tips for International Students Applying to NOV
- 1. Check OPT/CPT eligibility first. Many energy companies hire international students on OPT before sponsoring H1B. STEM-designated degrees qualify for 3 years of OPT.
- 2. Apply early. NOV files approximately 150 H1B petitions per year. Target fall recruiting cycles and career fairs for the best chances.
- 3. Highlight specialized skills. H1B roles require “specialty occupation” qualifications. Emphasize your petroleum engineering, geoscience, or technical expertise.
- 4. Network through SPE and university programs. Many energy companies recruit heavily at SPE events, university career fairs, and industry conferences.
- 5. Consider company subsidiaries. Large companies like NOV may sponsor through different legal entities. Ask about specific sponsoring entities during interviews.
