I know it is done through employer and that is why they have OPT. But F1 is meant for studies. So, I was wondering whether it is possible.

I have applied for a job right after my OPT expired. The position requirement completely matched my academic and research experiences. In addition - they were looking for someone to work on the same avian fauna that I researched on and use the same tools and techniques. So, I could not resist and applied. Some of my friends also advised me to go for it.

And when you fill out job application - you have to answer a question about eligibility. I wrote YES.

Today, they contacted me for phone interview and now I have questions ending in IF's.
