1. On-campus hiring events, but most employers say 'NO' to international students because of the immigration costs and complexity of the laws. And some have a policy of hiring only citizens or permanent residents.
2. You can still apply via LinkedIn or company website, but the recruiters usually receive a huge volume of applications for fresh grad positions. So unless you are lucky the hiring manager may not even see your impressive resume from the lot.
3. Internal referrals - If you know someone working in a company and if they are hiring, they can get you an interview. From my personal experience, if someone in our team recommends a person for the team, we will definitely talk to that person.
4. Finally, if you know the email address of a hiring manager (may be your friend who was rejected for a position might have it) it doesn't hurt sending an email. If your resume is impressive, you might get a call. But don't spam. Or you can also msg the recruiters on LinkedIn.
