Should I Include I’m US citizen in my Resume? (I’m hispanic)?
I am US citizen and I Know companies hire few international students. I’m Hispanic so my name is and I think when employers will look at my resume they may link my name to “international student.” Is it correct if I put in my resume I am a “US citizen” or “Able to work permanently in the USA.” If I put it, will it affect me in any way?
Thank you for your answers.

Don’t put it in your resume, instead focus on your best attributes and why they will be best for the company you are seeking.
When time comes for the job interview, don’t mention it unless they ask. For instance they will say “okay we need to see two forms of ID, can you provide these?” obviously you can, but even then you don’t need to mention you are a citizen. People on work Visas who don’t even want to be citizens get jobs.
Unless the companies who are you interested in have racist HR employees, I wouldn’t worry about it.
It is asked in the job application directly.
For an employer to assume anything like you are saying is racist. My first thought when hiring is – can they do the job? I let H/R worry about the details.
