OP what kind of experience do you have, and do you have a college degree? This job market is extremely competitive right now and even people with tons of experience are having troule finding roles. Unfortunately it doesn't seem like entry level really even means entry level anymore.

I think we are in the same situation here. I started with a mechanical designer position and I keep looking for an engineering position. I think passing the FE exam would make it much easier to get hired as a foreign grad engineer.

When you recruiters say at the end of a 15 min call.
“I will get back to you by the end of this week” does that really mean “your not right for this position”? Because this whole thing is a waste of time. I’ve did these calls with 3 recruiters and is yet to hear back from someone. Today would be the 4th recruiter that I’ve spoken to. Does this practice annoy you guys just as much as it does us? My dream career is to be a technical recruiter but this whole thing is discouraging.
