Struggling to Get a Job Switch After 4–5 Months – 1+ Year Experience, Daily Upskilling & Applications – Any Advice?

Hi everyone,

I’ve been trying to switch jobs for the last 4–5 months but haven’t gotten my resume shortlisted anywhere yet. I have 1+ year of experience as a software/XR developer (working with Java, React.js, and immersive tech), and I’m putting in consistent effort every day:

Learning and upskilling regularly

Applying daily on LinkedIn and company career sites

tailoring my resume and portfolio

Despite this, I’m not getting any responses. It’s been really frustrating.

If anyone has been through something similar or can share advice on:

How to get my resume noticed

Common mistakes to avoid

Resources or communities that helped them

I’d really appreciate your help or guidance. Thanks in advance!
