Days Before Getting Hired is a personal project documenting my journey as an international student navigating the Australian creative industry. Through honest stories about uncertainty, rejection, and small victories, I wanted to tell other international students: you're not alone, we all feel the same.

These hand-made zines explore the shared emotions we experience in different situations — the universal feelings beneath our individual struggles. They're designed to inspire more international students to stand up, speak out, and question whether we should always try to "fit in" — or create our own space instead.

Also, they're a thank-you gift to everyone who helped me along the way.
