What OPT Really Means for Your Job Search

OPT gives you a 12-month window to convert your U.S. degree into a real job.

Whether you get results depends on how fast, focused, and visa-aligned your job search system is — not just how many jobs you apply to.

Recruiters scan your resume for alignment in ~6 seconds.

Many employers don’t fully understand OPT rules or timelines.

Most job posts never say “OPT-friendly” — you have to read between the lines.

Your OPT clock doesn’t pause — every week without a plan increases risk.

JobSpot turns this into a clear system with U.S. recruiter-led targeting and visa-safe OPT strategies, so you’re not guessing your way through your 12 months.
