Prasad said in his post that the photo was of him appearing for an interview during one of his chemotherapy sessions. He has the #OpenToWork badge on LinkedIn. He spoke about the struggles of getting a job because of his health issue.

Sharing a picture of himself appearing in an interview while sitting on a hospital bed during a session of chemotherapy, Prasad wrote: ¡°When you give your best in the interviews but are not selected for the mere fact that you are going through a rough patch in life certainly shows how generous these companies are."

"As the recruiters come to know that I'm fighting Cancer, I see the change in their expressions. I don't need your sympathy!! I'm here to prove myself," he added.

Arsh's post, which garnered tons of reactions, soon saw a job offer come in from Nilesh Satpute, the founder and CEO of Maharashtra-based tech company Applied Cloud Computing.

¡°You are a warrior. Please stop attending interviews during your treatment. I checked your credentials, they are very strong. You can join us whenever you want. There will be no interview," Satpute commented.

¡°The right employer will see you for the champion you are, seeking opportunity amidst your struggle. Good luck to you, I wish you a speedy recovery and that you find that right fit for your talents and energy," one user said.

"You have inspired many! Stay the course, success is there! You are showing more strength and commitment and it is empowering others to be strong! Stay strong!" another user said.

"You got this. My prayer is that these organisations will catch up and give you the consideration you deserve. Oh and that you¡¯ll find a position that perfectly aligns with your values, skills, and personal goals. Keep your head up! Get well," another added.
