An engineering student is having difficulty finding employment after graduating. He says job portals do not have many opportunities for fresh graduates and that getting an IT job is challenging in the current economic climate. He thinks only about IT jobs but finds it hard to find positions as a new graduate. This stresses him out as he feels job opportunities are scarce and dependent on grades. His problem is that as a capable engineering student, he needs to find a job to kickstart his career and meet his commitments, but the job market is making this difficult.
