24 F on F-1 OPT. I know I should not lose hope and I won’t. But it’s so frustrating. I have a bachelors degree in accounting and auditing and a masters degree in finance. I also have about a year of experience in risk advisory working at big 4 at my home country and full 10-month internal audit internship experience at a fortune 500 in US. I’m targeting internal audit roles that require 0-5 years of experience. But only get rejections, barely get the HR phone screen, and when I do, it doesn’t go forward with the reasons either they don’t want people who doesn’t have a citizenship/GC or they want more experienced/more specialised experience. I’ve been preparing for my CIA part-1 exam and planning to take the exam this month, in hope that helps a bit. I’m really tired of not understanding what to do. The roles that I think i can absolutely nail are internship for which i get auto filtered since i’m not in school anymore. The entry level (0-2/3) years of experience roles are also rejecting me god knows why (am i under qualified/overqualified).

I also tried a different angle where I target Financial Analyst/FP&A full-time roles and internships, because I’m interested in that as well and because I saw some of my fellow finance graduates with 0 experience land financial and senior financial analyst roles, but I’m getting no luck there as well.

I have tailored my resumes to the jobs i apply, nothing is working. I sometimes even say no to the sponsorship question, just to test whether i’ll get an hr phone screen, and sometimes i do, but nothing goes forward. The only reason/feedback i get is “they have found other candidates that better align with the role” when i know i am very well perfectly aligned with the JD for some roles that I applied, the exact work i have done.

And I do not wish to spend the a huge amount on the consultancies who random stuff your resume with keywords and apply and apply, and when you get a job, they take a huge percentage of your first years salary. And still don’t promise you a job.

I would like any suggestions if you guys have.
