[5 YoE] Need Resume Feedback - Around 50+ thoughtful applications so far and not getting any interviews.

Software
  • Targeting: Senior Software Engineer roles in the Global/SaaS industries, focusing on backend and full-stack positions (Node/React/Vue).
  • Location: Currently based in Philippines. Open to fully remote, hybrid, and roles that require relocation (basically anything).
  • Background: Math is my original degree but has been doing software for 5+ years now. I haven't held a senior role yet, but that's what's I'm targeting because I feel I'm already on that level (open to feedback otherwise). I'm also a woman if that makes any difference. From Philippines.
  • Challenge: I'm not getting any interviews even for job I feel I'm a good fit. I only apply for jobs that has local presence here, explicitly hiring here, or company's that's fully remote/global, so I don't think visa/location is the issue. And every application I made are thoughtful ones. I tweak my resume a bit to better fit the job description and even go as messaging at least one engineer / hiring manager in that company via LinkedIn (most of the time I get no reply tho).
  • Request: Any skill gap you know? Or red flags I'm possibly raising? Or any points of improvement. Open to any feedback.
