I graduated in May with a Master's in Data Science and am currently an international student on OPT. I've been actively applying for data science and software engineering positions, but so far, I've only received rejections. I would greatly appreciate any advice on how to improve my chances. I'm unsure whether the issue lies with my visa status or my resume.

Without seeing your resume, i would still say its highly likely the issue is with your visa status. Make sure you note if a company sponsors or not before you apply
