I am currently on an OPT-EAD work authorization. I started my employment date earlier than later as I had job offers lined up. Unfortunately, the company I had agreed to join pulled their offer. My deadline to find a job is quickly approaching. I have a final interview for my top choice tomorrow and I am wondering if I should mention this circumstance in order to push the job offer quicker (granted they are still as enthusiastic as they were on the phone).

Hey friend, try finding an unpaid opt internship to stop your clock, there’s many NGOs that offer this. The market is tough so it might take a while before you get an actual offer so it’s good to not have an added stress.
