[0 YoE] Recent grad not landing any interviews after applying to 100+ companies. Open to criticism and suggestions
Hi guys, I graduated April 2025 (with 1 internship and paid research experience) and have been applying to mechanical engineering roles around Toronto/GTA area. I usually submit a tailored cover letter with each application but have not had ANY success in landing interviews. I'm wondering if there is something wrong with my resume at first glance that I haven't noticed. I've read and re-read the wiki many times and structured my resume accordingly.
Should I be looking for a non-related part time job in the meantime to avoid having a large unemployment gap?
Any help or suggestions would be great!
