I had just graduated in computer engineering from a university in the United States. My head was full of dreams: I would get a good job, become financially independent and start working towards the rest of my life plans. I began sending my résumé to different organisations several months before graduation. But despite submitting one application after another, I heard nothing about a job.
At the time, I was an international student in the United States. If I failed to find a job related to my field of study within a specified period, I would have to return home empty-handed. And there was another worry even before that: how would I pay the rent? How would I put food on the table?
