About International Law Update

---

Terik Hashmi, an experienced immigration & business attorney with over 30 years of professional experience, announces the release of his latest book, Hired in America! The Newcomer’s Guide to Landing Your First U.S. Job. This essential guide is designed to help international professionals navigate the often complex path of building a career in the United States.

For many aspiring immigrants, finding a U.S. job can feel overwhelming. Movies may make it seem easy—just luck or knowing the right people—but the reality is far more complicated. From choosing a career path to understanding visa and immigration requirements, the process requires careful planning and informed decisions. Hired in America! offers practical advice, insider tips, and step-by-step guidance to help newcomers create a strategic plan for their American career.

“Whether you are just starting your career, seeking a change, or aiming for your dream job, this guide is for you,” says Hashmi. “It doesn’t matter what industry you are interested in or how much experience you have—there’s something here to help everyone.”

  He adds that he has included some personal anecdotes to illustrate different approaches to jobhunting and one’s career. “In the mid-1990s, starting my career in Washington, DC, I often grabbed a hot dog from a vendor on Connecticut Avenue. Over time, I got to know the owner, who had borrowed $10,000 from his father after high school to start the business. He was making about $70,000 a year, mostly cash, with no student loans and total control over his work. I quickly realized: he was his own boss, earning money right away, while I was still deep in college and law school debt. Maybe the hot dog trailer was the smarter career move.”

Drawing from decades of hands-on experience assisting individuals and companies with employment, work visa, and immigration matters, Hashmi emphasizes the importance of preparation, professional guidance, and continuous learning. Readers will learn how to maximize their career counseling, perfect their resumes, ace interviews, and invest in ongoing personal and professional development.

Hired in America! is designed as a practical reference rather than a book to read cover-to-cover. Readers can explore topics as needed, finding the advice most relevant to their current stage of the job search.

Under the new leadership of Terik Hashmi, the publication will continue its online presence on LEXIS, WEST, and other information providers.

Practicing Attorney Terik Hashmi, based in Miami, Florida, is the new editor of “International Law Update,” which appears in several online information services such as LEXIS, WEST, and others. Since 1995, International Law Update has provided monthly briefings on the most significant domestic and foreign legal developments in the fields of public and private international law, and has been of particular value to US lawyers, judges and teachers. International Law Update has reported on recent international opinions of U.S. and leading foreign and internationals courts, on leading cases from the European Court of Justice and the European Court of Human Rights, and the World Trade Organization rulings. Frequent International Law Update subjects include applications of the Hague Evidence and Service Conventions, the contents of major intergovernmental commercial and trade agreements, cases dealing with sovereign immunity and enforcement of judgments, international jurisdiction, choice of law and the enforcement of judgments, and significant changes in public and private international law that may affect American interests at home and abroad. Thus far, the Update has reported on over 3,000 international issues.

Like many print publications, International Law Update was forced to change its approach as a result of the proliferation of the internet, and is now available through online providers. With a reorganization and Mr. Hashmi as editor, the publication will continue to provide its services to the legal and academic community.

Mr. Terik Hashmi is best known as the Attorney who represented Former President of Venezuela Carlos Andres Perez in his Application for Political Asylum in the US after the Coup D’état and overthrow of the Presidency by strongman Hugo Chavez.

“It’s a true honor and privilege to follow in the footsteps of the original publishers,” comments Mr. Hashmi. “It is a useful and easy-to-read digest of most recent international developments and has been cited in international court decisions.”

Mr. Hashmi is certainly the right person for the job based on his nearly three decades of law practice experience representing clients in international, diplomatic and political circles. He holds two University Degrees as well as two Law Degrees, a J.D. (Juris Doctorate) from Ohio and an LL.M. (Master of Laws) degree from the State of California where he specialized in Transnational Business Practice.

The new book of Terik Hashmi, Esq. is a complete re-write of his previously published book “10 Steps for a successful job application in the USA” (published 2000 in Germany by TIA Publishers).

Practicing attorney Terik Hashmi announces the upcoming release of his latest book, a comprehensive guide titled "Unlocking Opportunities: Navigating the U.S. Job Market and Work Visa Process." Drawing on his extensive experience in immigration law and employment matters, Hashmi's book serves as an indispensable resource for individuals seeking employment opportunities in the United States.

In "Unlocking Opportunities," Hashmi provides invaluable insights and practical advice on every step of the job search and visa application process. A standout feature of the book is its detailed explanation of how to obtain a work visa, even without the sponsorship of a U.S. employer—a topic often shrouded in confusion and uncertainty. Hashmi's expertise demystifies this complex process, empowering readers to pursue their career aspirations with confidence.

Furthermore, the book addresses a pressing concern for job seekers in today's digital age: the increasing role of artificial intelligence (AI) in the hiring process. As Hashmi emphasizes, AI has revolutionized recruitment practices, with many employers utilizing sophisticated algorithms to screen and select candidates based on their resumes. Understanding how AI operates is crucial for job applicants aiming to stand out in a competitive job market—a topic thoroughly explored in "Unlocking Opportunities."

"Securing employment and navigating the U.S. visa system can be daunting tasks," says Hashmi. "With 'Unlocking Opportunities,' my goal is to equip individuals with the knowledge and strategies they need to navigate these challenges successfully. Whether you're a recent graduate, a seasoned professional, or an aspiring immigrant, this book will serve as your roadmap to unlocking new opportunities and achieving your career goals in the United States."

"Unlocking Opportunities: Navigating the U.S. Job Market and Work Visa Process" will be available shortly on Amazon in print and eBook formats, offering accessible guidance to individuals worldwide aspiring to pursue employment opportunities in the United States.
