Job Search Advisor for International Students & Immigrants living in the U.S. 🇺🇸 | 600+ Mentees | $60 Million in Job Offers | Featured in Forbes, Business Insider & more | Let’s Get You Hired ⤵️

When everyone around me told me to pack my bags and move back to India, my dad was the one who always said, "Aneri, I know you can do this. I’ve got your back. Keep working on yourself."

When I came to the U.S as an international student, I picked up the wrong courses, which resulted in academic probation.

I failed measurably in my first semester. Eventually, I graduated with a mediocre GPA, no internships or on-campus jobs.

I was confused about what to do.

Some advised to start another degree, while others said it's best to go back to India.

But I didn't want to return with nothing.

I kept applying to jobs day and night, sadly, nothing was working.

Every day, I would walk up rejection emails, which made me question whether extending my stay here was going to make any sense.

One day, I called my father. I was very emotional and told him about my situation,

He said, "Aneri, you haven't come this far, just to come this far. I know you can do this. I’ve got your back. Keep working on yourself."

His words gave me strength and renewed energy to not give up.

I continued my job search, and after every 10 “no’s,” I’d go to the library, study what went wrong, and make changes accordingly.

I also talked to 30+ people who landed jobs recently, got feedback from them, and studied their strategy.

And in less than 90 days, I landed my first interview and job offer by doing these 4 things:

I only applied to roles that matched my qualifications and past experience.

I made a very strong portfolio that showcased my class projects, case studies, and unpaid internships.

My interview answers had a structure: context, action & result.

Lastly, I didn't network just to ask for referrals. I actually spend time to learn from them.

Once I cracked this formula, one interview followed by many others, like Dell, Unum, State Farm, PwC, and more.

My journey from being an average student with no internships and hundreds of rejections taught me that rejections are never the end.

If you don't give up, get the right feedback and guidance, there is always light at the end of the tunnel.

I know the current situation for skilled immigrant workers seems unfavorable, but there is nothing we immigrants can not overcome.

From a long-distance relationship to a $130K base salary + commission at a Fortune 500 company and two lives transformed overnight!

Some client stories stay with you not only for the win, but for what they represent.

When Reema (name changed) first came to me, she was an international student new grad looking for her first full-time role.

During our collaboration:

→ We built and leveraged her personal brand

→ We refined her resume and LinkedIn to position her as an authority in her target role

→ We landed multiple interviews and a job offer at one of her dream companies in FAANG

But that opportunity required her to move across the country, take on a demanding new role, and navigate a long-distance relationship.

Two different time zones, two separate households, and one tight budget.
The pressure was real.

Months after settling in, she reached out again, this time for her partner.

She had used everything she learned during her job search to build his resume from scratch. And that resume had already landed him two interviews.

It was finally a real chance to live under the same roof again.

We had an aggressive goal to convert those interviews into an offer, so we got to work.

We focused on:

1. Positioning him as an authority for the role

2. Highlighting his past experience and transferable skills with measurable results

3. Helping him show up as a confident, empathetic problem-solver

He reached the final round and was invited for an onsite interview.

We were hopeful.
We were prepared.
We thought we had it.

But the night before the onsite, his flight was canceled due to weather.

We quickly drafted a thoughtful email requesting a virtual interview to keep the momentum alive.

He showed up strong with clarity, confidence, and proof of value and walked away with:

• A non-tech role at a Fortune 500 company
• $130K base salary plus commission plus stock
• Relocation assistance
• And finally, an end to years of long-distance

They called me together to share the news. All three of us were emotional.

A few days later, she asked for my mailing address.

I assumed it was for a thank-you note.
Instead, it was their wedding invitation.

I looked at that invite and thought of the journey that led there. One person wanted a career upgrade and ended up rewriting two futures. 

A job offer can open a door. But sometimes, it opens a whole new chapter.

9 uncomfortable truths about the U.S. job market that most people don’t want to hear. (Most job seekers won’t like it, but I'll say it anyway.)

1️⃣ Myth: 80% of jobs are never posted online.

Truth: Most companies, especially mid-size to large ones, are required to post roles publicly due to internal compliance, fair hiring practices, and legal reasons.

Yes, some startup jobs or contract roles may get filled quietly.
But for most roles, if you're not applying online, you're missing real opportunities.

2️⃣ Myth: “The ATS is rejecting you”

Truth: ATS doesn’t reject most candidates.
They’re mainly used to store and organize applications.

Auto-rejection only happens if a company uses knockout filters, like needing a work visa or security clearance.

Most of the time, it’s recruiters, not the system, making the decision.

3️⃣ Myth: “Online applications don’t work anymore”

Truth: While networking is powerful, it’s not the only way.

In the last 6 months, my clients landed over 100 interviews and 40+ job offers, and 70% of those came from applying to roles online.

If you’re applying the right way (customized, aligned, strategic), online applications do work.

4️⃣ Myth: “Referrals guarantee interviews”

Truth: It does not. If you don’t meet the basic qualifications or your resume isn’t aligned, you may still be passed over.

Referrals open the door, but your experience and application need to keep you in the room.

5️⃣Myth: “Apply even if you’re not qualified”

Truth: Companies are looking for someone who can solve their problems now, not someone they need to train from scratch.

If you're missing 1–2 nice-to-haves, it’s fine.
But if you lack core requirements, your chances drop significantly.

6️⃣ Myth: “If you have less than 10 years of experience, your resume should always be one page.”

Truth: But hiring managers look for value.

If your resume is 1.5 to 2 pages and filled with clear, relevant achievements, no one will penalize you.

What matters more is clarity, alignment, and impact.

7️⃣ Myth: “The system is broken”

Truth: Companies have become more selective.

With so many qualified local candidates available, they don’t have the same urgency to sponsor unless your skills are rare and hard to find.
That’s economics.

8️⃣ Myth: “If I apply to more jobs, I’ll get more chances.”

Truth: Volume without alignment rarely works.
Many of my mentees applied to just 10–20 roles they were truly qualified for and got interviews.

Focus on applying to the right things.

9️⃣ Myth: “You need a 90–100% ATS score”

Truth: Those scores aren’t always accurate.

They often weigh keywords like “communication” or “team player” heavily even though those don’t make or break an application.

Use those tools as a guide, not a gatekeeper.

Which of these myths have you believed at some point?

P.S. Follow me if you are an immigrant or international student in the U.S. I share practical advice, resources, and insights to help you land your next role.

This is the #1 reason most resumes, even from experienced professionals, get rejected

Their resumes don’t have anything wrong, 

The real reason is that they are using advice that stopped working years ago. 

Here’s what I still see on so many resumes:

❌ “Results-driven Business Analyst with experience working on multiple projects in media and entertainment. Skilled in gathering requirements, documenting processes, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to support technology initiatives. Looking for an opportunity to contribute my skills in analysis, communication, and teamwork to a fast-paced organization.

If a decision maker reads that, nothing stands out.


There is no story and no social proof of your work.

And that is why people get frustrated sending hundreds of applications.

The market has changed. Recruiters scan quickly. 

You only get one shot to show them you are worth a deeper look.

So this is the format I recommend to get selected. It is simple and powerful:

A short, sharp section at the top of your resume that shows:
→ Who you are ( Job profile, number of years of experience, industries you have worked in, core skills for your target role, global exposure)
→ The kind of value you deliver
→ 2 or 3 measurable examples of real wins 

✅Senior Business Analyst with 5+ years of experience implementing SaaS, GenAI, and enterprise automation solutions for Fortune 500 companies. 

Skilled in requirements gathering, backlog management, cross-functional delivery, testing, training, and enterprise rollout impacting 10K+ employees. 

Contributed to $10M+ in operational savings over 5 years through digital transformation by partnering with global teams across Asia, Europe, and North America.

It is quick to read, it is relevant to the role, and it instantly tells the hiring team, “I get what you need, and I’ve done it before.”

If you want to land more interviews in 2025, don’t lead with paragraphs or buzzwords.

Lead with proof.
Your resume is a marketing document.
Show them your impact, not your intentions.
