I want some advice, i’ve taken interest at BNSF Railway. I was wondering if y’all have any advice for me as i’m applying for an accounting/finance internship with them for the summer of next year. :(

I don't know much about them personally, but I would imagine you would approach the application process just like any other. If and when you get an interview, then I'd reach out to this community for advice on how to best prepare. You can also see if any of your school's alumni are employed there and if so, reach out to them on LinkedIn to see if they'd be willing to connect.

Try to include as many skills from the job posting onto your resume as possible. Whatever experience you have that matches the responsibilities emphasize them as much as possible.

See I’m an international student so everything’s harder and i don’t have a lot of hands on skills but I am willing to learn and i want a recruiter that sees drive not resume. What should I do.

Hi there, I had a question about 401k or Roth IRA. Should I put money into anyone of the two as an international student? I don’t see the point because I want to invest my money instead of saving it. Plus I don’t even have a permanent resident status so I don’t know if it makes sense saving it for retirement. On the other hand, the employer match and so on sounds good. So should I save it and take it out later or just invest it?
