Hi, this is Sayed. I am a journalist and content creator with established credentials and international experience. I am new to the US and have been applying for positions that closely match my qualifications. Despite that I rarely hear back from employers.

I am interested to know whether others with international backgrounds have faced similar challenges in this job market. Does anyone have insights or recommendations on what I might be missing and how I can improve?

I was in the final stages of an interview with Microsoft two weeks ago, in partner marketing. Then the recruiter told me they were putting the hiring process on hold to assess the need for the role. Well, then we heard about Microsoft layoffs last week. Seems like most were in Xbox and Project Alpha but there’s not a lot of information out there. Should I hold out any hope that I’m going to get this job? Any insights on how much these layoffs have impacted the marketing org and/or new hiring?

I've been job hunting for a while now, and have yet to secure anything. I've made it through to the writing test a few times but haven't succeeded.
