How to find a job as an international student?

Home More advice Jobs & Money

I am an international student studying in the US. I graduated from a top 10 university in the US with an economics major. I have a good GPA and good work/ internship experience, yet I can't seem to find a full time job! My visa expires in June so after this month, I will be forced to go back home. I have tried to apply for jobs at home but never receive any response either. To make things worse, I have a boyfriend here in the US so we will most likely do a long distance relationship, which I am dreading. I am extremely unhappy and frustrated. I have applied to over 400 jobs and seen my lesser qualified classmates get jobs simply because they are American. Oh and I've had my resume/ cover letter checked and I have been to the career office multiple times. It just seems that luck is lacking on my side.

Any advice? Thanks a lot!!!
