'Special status'

Most of my dear friends and I belong to the 'special status' group here. To my utter disgust, 'special status' doesn't necessarily mean a privileged class. It simply means an 'F' on your visa! All the employers try and stay away from us. They do empathize (actually pity) and do worry about a 'loss of talent'...but, they hardly care! Who wants to go through the hassle of filing for an 'H' when you can find a perfectly good employee who is already a citizen? I do understand the restrictions imposed upon them by 'you- know- who', but nonetheless, dont we deserve a chance? I'm sick and tired of people not even accepting our resumes. The only ray of hope they ever give me is 'apply on our website'...yeah right! as if they check!

While I whine about this mad job search, my phone buzzes.... an ex-boss calling! suddenly see a ray of hope! :)
