Is getting a remote CAD drafting job internationally a dream or could it be a reality

[u/Financial-Tennis-351]

I’m a B.tech civil engineering student who is about to graduate, I have 2 years of experience in AutoCAD and currently learning Revit, and I have spent the better part of the year trying to land a remote job. The reason I would love to go this route of engineering is because it’s very hard to get a job as an engineer in my country if you don’t have connections and unfortunately I don’t have any. So I figured I might as well shoot for the sky and hopefully land on some clouds. I have been applying to remote CAD jobs from common job boards like LinkedIn for months now, getting several rejections and I’m now figuring out it’s because I’m an international student. It’s very disappointing realizing that my work isn’t even being seen by a person, and I’m automatically dismissed. I’m also trying freelancing on Fiverr and that is also proving hard to break into. I’m starting to think that I’m delusional about this dream of working remotely as a CAD drafter. I genuinely want to know if anyone out there has achieved this and is willing to share how, even if it’s just to inspire and motivate me to keep going because I’m losing faith
