[0 YoE] Resume Review: Graduated last year, 300 applications sent, yet I'm rarely getting replies.
Graduated last year, with no luck. Followed everything in the wiki. I've sent over 300 applications yet I rarely hear anything back. When I graduated, I had a 10% interview rate (sent 50 got 5 interviews), now I'm barely getting anything and still no luck. I need help.
Justifications for some of the design choices:
- Added Canadian Citizen because I have a very Arab name -> reduces sponsorship bias
- Added (Formerly Old_Name Univeristy) because the name was changed a few years back yet the new name is not as recognizable in the industry. I still see the old name in some application platforms.
I also have a question: when "tailoring" my resume, should I just switch the technology used? Let's say the position asks for Node.js and Angular but I use React and FastAPI. Should I just switch my bullet point to say I used the former considering they are very transferable skills?
