I have nothing to write home about at the moment. With i-banks having finished their process, many of my classmates including me are asking - what next? How to get that elusive job of your choice ? Many people have made compromises and moved on to try whatever they can get. But the off campus process will definitely be rough. While most international students manage an off campus job , it is not always the type they wanted. With confidence shaken people wonder was it worth to spend so much money to struggle so much. The fault I think lies in the system of recruitment in US. It all boils down to networking, schmoozing and god knows what. Throw in a bit of other factors which I dont want to mention, and it becomes an uphill task for a normal international student to secure a great on campus job. But this adds to the experience - and I'm sure people will come out stronger after this. While I embark on another strategy for getting a job , I hope this time i am not wasting my time and effort.
