My English is very good... I went to university in the US for MBA. But it's so hard to get a job here. I'm looking for any entry level IT job. I don't really care how much they pay... just want to get a job I love to do.
I'm married w/ my husband. He's American ... Sometimes I really want to go back to my country and get a job... it's easier for me w/ all my degrees. I have connections also... but here... I'm a second class people. I want to be w/ my husband though.

Hold your head up, put on a black suit and go for it. It is not easy being a person of color but with the education you have.....you are blessed. Remember.....you are not looking for someone to hire you...you are looking to sell your skills.In order to do this you must present yourself as a self assured professional who has got the right stuff to further your employers business.You are not a second class people, you are a first class professional. Now....go get that job.

My husband is Asian and he has an MBA from an Ivy league American university. His spoken and written English are excellent and he has always had steady employment, but not on the basis of his MBA. He has another advanced degree and it is with that that he got various jobs and still gets offers from headhunters.
Maybe an MBA isn't all it's cracked up to be. And, as others stated, timing is everything when it comes to jobs. Actually, I think there is a reverse stereotype when it comes to Asians and computer science. People assume Asians are really good at computer stuff!

keep trying. It's hard for many people to get a job in that field. Persevere, you want it bad enough, you will get it. Can your husband get a job in your country? What are you really asking. All these questions must be answered by you. You are the only one who knows what your heart desires. Get a job for now, until you find the one you really want. If you just want a job, it shouldn't matter too much what you do.

I doubt it that it's because you're asian. If you feel like you were discriminated against, you should report that company. It's really about luck and timing. You're not the only person looking for a job, the odds of you finding a good job is still high. Have you placed your resume on Hotjobs or Monster.com? There are many other job postings online. you just have to spend more time researching and looking for them. I hope this helps.

The reason you are having a hard time finding a job is probably because you are an IT graduate. Despite the booming IT industry, there are also very very many IT graduates, too many, to go along with it.

Finding a good job is always hard.
Try at a large company.
You don't want to work for a bigoted jerk anyway.

i do not think it is because you are Asian.
Keep trying, I am sure you will succeed if you persevere.
