/help\ finding a job

Hi,

I am (M23) from Europe. Currently at the MSRE at NYU, graduating soon. Have about 1.5 years experience in big firms for RE . 3.9 GPA. Good undergrad busines school. Good extracurricular. Applied to over 100+ jobs. Not a single call back . Not even from random firms in the middle of Ohio. Been networking and cold calling a bunch of people . Still not a single answer or even smallest interview.

Am I the only one struggling that bad ?do you have any tips / advice ? Do my profile sucks or is it juste the market being too bad rn ? Should I defer my graduation to land in the job market at a better time ?

Hey also at NYU, graduating soon. You have to reach out to people at the firm you apply to otherwise you don't even get a look.

Example, for my current internship only 5 people were interviewed. I applied through the job portal and when I got to my company saw my resume wasn't even downloaded from there in their files. The only reason I interviewed is because I emailed someone directly, asked to get on a call and sent my resume to them.

If you need a visa this may also make it tough since a lot of firms don't want to take on that extra cost.
