Thus, this paper wants to achieve the following goals: 1. to understand those new female immigrants’ considerations in seeking jobs; 2. to reveal the difficulties they faced while locating jobs; 3. to know whether the job-seeking guidance and training provided by concerned authorities and the related policies and rules are helpful or not; 4. to understand whether they are getting our society’s assistance and support and what, if they have.
