Hi! My name is Yajur Sood.

I am a UX Research associate for Cognizant, supporting Google. I have been doing this job for almost a year now. I graduated from Arizona State University with a master’s degree in Human-Computer Interaction. I have 4.5 years of professional experience in UI/UX design and software development.

Job Applications Counter


883

Let’s have some fun while we are all here. As a grad student, job applications are a normal part of life but it still causes uncertainty and anxiety among students. This is not a number that needs to be kept hidden. If you see this number and feel bad, then we have some work to do in improving the job application system for future students. If you see this number and feel good, then you are probably my peer who has applied to twice as many jobs, so congratulations to you and I will catch up to you, slowly but surely! But most importantly, all international students are in this together. Let’s keep our spirits up and help each other!
