Tough Times in US Job Market – Indian Students Hit Hard
The dream of foreign students studying in America is that after completing graduation, they will get jobs in big companies there and their career will take a new flight.
But the reality is not so easy for everyone. The job market there is going through a very bad phase these days, and foreign students are the worst hit by it.
This is the situation faced by an Indian student who recently completed his Masters in Computer Science. Despite studying in demanding fields like Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, he has been looking for a job for months but is getting rejections everywhere.
Applied at more than 500 places, still got only disappointment
The student posted the video on the social media platform Reddit But while sharing his experience he wrote that he has applied to more than 500 companies since April. He had graduated with a masters degree just three weeks ago.
Despite applying at so many places, he got an interview opportunity at only three places, but he had to face rejection from there too.
He said that even after changing his resume repeatedly and taking advice from different professionals, he is not getting selected. This situation has become very frustrating for him.
OPT, companies are not hiring
The student further said that he recently gave an interview to a sports company. He thought that he would get a job now, but when the company came to know about his visa status, the matter got worse.
He told the company that he is on F-1 visa and has applied for OPT (Optional Practical Training). He also said that he has got OPT approval, but despite this, the company sent a rejection email after a few days.
“I start crying while applying for a job”
In his post, the student revealed that he is now mentally broken due to continuous rejections. He wrote – “ I apply for dozens of jobs every day. Many times I start crying while applying. This is extremely stressful and frustrating. ”
He said that his situation has become more difficult because of the F-1 visa, because companies are not ready to give sponsorship. If he does not get a job within 90 days, he may have to leave America.
“The professor is saying do a PhD”
The student further wrote that he is continuously applying on LinkedIn and other platforms and is also networking with people, but it is not working. His professors have advised him to do PhD, but he currently wants to do a job so that he can start his career.
There is a job fair scheduled to be held in September, but students have little hope as most of the companies there are not ready to provide visa sponsorship.
Conclusion
This story is not just of one student, but of thousands of Indian and foreign students who are struggling to find a job after completing their studies in the US. The complexity of visa rules and poor job market has further increased their difficulties.
