Job Hunting in Tech

Business Analyst

I am posting on behalf of my wife. She completed her bachelor in CS and got her MBA (a year ago now). She was international but we got married and she has a green card now. She got her MBA due to her not finding a job after bachelors (student visa) and wanted to pursue product management. My question is how can I help her get a job? She feels like she will never get an entry level job anymore. I told her to keep applying but wanted to reach out to see if you have any other tips? Thank you!
