01 — About
Built for students
who are job hunting.
DM Growth Partners LLC is a US-based firm. The site now leads with F-1 students in the United States who want a job here. Small and medium businesses and startup founders are still welcome — that work sits one tab away, not on the front door.
For F-1 students, we explain the usual CPT, OPT, and STEM OPT path in plain language, coach the work-authorization conversation, and help you aim at employers who hire international students. We also help with a US resume, LinkedIn, interview practice, and a weekly application plan.
This is career support, not immigration legal advice. Dates and eligibility always need a check with your Designated School Official and USCIS. We do not file immigration forms, and we do not guarantee a job, OPT approval, or sponsorship.

02 — F-1 Support
OPT job search
help for F-1 students.
Three things F-1 students usually need before they apply: a clear timeline, a calm way to talk about work authorization, and a way to find employers who hire international students.
This is education, not legal advice. Rules change. Confirm dates and eligibility with your Designated School Official (DSO) and USCIS. DM Growth Partners does not provide immigration legal services and does not guarantee a job, OPT approval, or sponsorship.
CPT
Curricular Practical Training is work tied to your curriculum, such as an internship or co-op. Your DSO authorizes it before you start, usually after one full academic year.
Confirm with your DSO.
Read CPT vs OPTOPT
Optional Practical Training is commonly 12 months of work related to your major. Post-completion OPT is the usual path after you finish your program, with an application window around your program end date and a limit on days without a job.
Confirm with your DSO.
Read the OPT job search guideSTEM OPT
If your degree is on the STEM list, a qualifying employer can support an extra 24 months. The employer is generally enrolled in E-Verify, and you complete a training plan together.
Confirm with your DSO.
Read the STEM OPT guideHow to talk about work authorization
Many applications ask, “Will you now or in the future need sponsorship?” Answer in one or two honest sentences. A typical shape: you are authorized to work on OPT for a defined period, and you may need sponsorship later if you and the employer want to continue. On a US resume, skip the photo and add a short work-authorization line. We coach that conversation. We do not give a legal opinion.
Read the sponsorship guideWhere to look for employers
We do not hand you a made-up list of sponsors. We show you a method: your campus career center and Handshake, postings that do not require you to never need sponsorship, public H-1B disclosure data as research, E-Verify employers when you are aiming at STEM OPT, career fairs, and alumni referrals. We can also introduce students to E-Verify employers and vendors we already work with.

Tools that keep your
job search moving.
Resume feedback, mock interviews, an application tracker, and outreach drafts — so the repetitive parts of a US job search do not stall you. Business automation pricing stays on the business tab.

A US-format pass on structure, keywords, and a short work-authorization line. No photo.
Mock Interviews
Practice behavioral rounds and the authorization question before a recruiter asks it.
Application Tracking
A simple log of roles, deadlines, and follow-ups so OPT timing stays visible.
Outreach Drafts
Short notes to alumni and recruiters that sound like you, not a template blast.
Role Targeting
Match your major to roles that can be done on OPT, then narrow the list.
Weekly Plan
A small set of applications and follow-ups for the week, instead of an endless scroll.
05 — The Search
What changes once the
search has a plan.
Before DMGP
The Struggle
✕A generic resume that does not read as a US application
✕Freezing when a form asks about sponsorship
✕Applying mostly to employers that will not hire on OPT
✕Missing the OPT window because the dates were unclear
✕No US network beyond the classroom
✕Treating the search like a visa filing instead of a job hunt
After DMGP
The Results
✓A US resume and LinkedIn a recruiter can skim
✓A short, honest answer on work authorization
✓A shortlist aimed at employers who hire international students
✓A timeline you check with your DSO before dates slip
✓Alumni, fairs, and referrals in the weekly plan
✓Interview practice for the role, not just the paperwork

Common questions,

Students
DM Growth Partners LLC is a Dover, Delaware company that helps F-1 students in the United States with OPT job search, CPT internships, and STEM OPT job search. This is career support, not immigration legal advice.
An OPT job search is looking for a US job related to your major during Optional Practical Training. We help F-1 students with that search: timelines, work authorization conversations, US resumes, interviews, and where to look for employers. We also help with CPT job search and STEM OPT job search. We do not provide immigration legal advice, file forms, or guarantee a job or sponsorship.
Yes. STEM OPT can add time when the degree and employer qualify, often with an E-Verify employer and a training plan. We help you plan that job search in plain language. Confirm eligibility and dates with your Designated School Official. We do not file STEM OPT forms.
A CPT job search is for work tied to your curriculum, often an internship while you are enrolled, authorized by your DSO. An OPT job search is for optional practical training related to your major, commonly about 12 months after graduation. Confirm your case with your DSO.
No. We do not file OPT, STEM OPT, CPT, or any other immigration forms, and we do not review an I-20 as a legal service. Ask your DSO, and a qualified immigration attorney when you need legal advice.
We can help request interviews with E-Verify employers and vendors we work with. We do not guarantee that an employer will agree to meet. Confirm your work authorization with your DSO.
Work authorization
In one or two honest sentences. Many students on post-completion OPT can work for a period without a new petition, and may need sponsorship later if they stay. The exact wording depends on your status. We coach the conversation. We do not tell you what you are legally allowed to do.
We will not hand you a made-up sponsor list. We teach a method: campus career center and Handshake, how to read postings, public H-1B disclosure data, E-Verify employers for STEM OPT, career fairs, and alumni.
Businesses and getting started
Your name, email, major, and approximate program end date, plus whether you are exploring CPT, OPT, or STEM OPT. Do not send a passport, I-20, or SEVIS number through this form.
Yes. Talent, websites, AI agents, and founder services are still available under For Businesses and For Startups & Founders.
Yes. Those services are unchanged. AI agents still start at $399 plus $29 a month, and websites still start at $599. The homepage now leads with F-1 students.
We're a US-based LLC registered in Delaware. Our registered address is 8 The Green, STE A, Dover, DE 19901. We work with F-1 students and clients across the United States.
