The stakeholder is an immigrant who recently graduated with a Master's degree in Computer Science from the University of Oklahoma. They are looking for an entry-level job in IT or software but are finding it difficult due to a lack of experience. They have no current income and are relying on savings. Internal referrals would help get their resume noticed by companies that are wary of sponsoring visas for recent graduates. The stakeholder wants an easier way to search for entry-level positions and help getting their profile more attention from companies.
