Same here. Not even screening call even for strong match

Same! I’m just frustrated and giving up job search. Staffing and recruiting companies are also not reliable at this time

Not only h1b they are ghosting international students who is on their OPT and directly mail saying we don’t hire who holds OPT visa type.

Yup that’s true

Yes same. I was laid off and actively applying tons of jobs. I have some recruiters screening, but I was rejected because of the visa sponsorship. I was so desperate :(

Sponsorship as in h1b transfer with approved I140 or entering the h1b lottery?

h1b transfer with or without approved i140..

It’s very challenging times for sure. Is contracting our last hope ?

Strong referrals do help. Need someone to vouch for you to push through a screening call bare minimum

Out of curiosity. How would a company view a potential candidate who has a period of unemployment to study for the CPA. I am considering to start studying for the exam but I know I would need to leave my employer in order to give 110%. I am contemplating the idea of at least passing one part while employed. Then leaving my employer to study FAR. I am considering to leave my current employer anyways, so it’s more of how my future employer would view that lapse.
