I would say take a good look at what your resume looks like. Usually no responses back is an indicator something is wrong with your resume and causing issues.

1. Are you filling out the cover letter / “Say something about yourself” section on every application? I largely just throw ChatGPT at the problem and then do a second pass over it to make sure it looks good before submitting

2. Resume should be kept very short and sweet, with 90% of its content being focused on specifically name dropping key technologies by name you have used so automated systems pick it up. If you are a MERN dev for example, make 100% sure that “MongoDB”, “Express.js”, “React” “Node” and “NPM” are all verbatim somewhere on your resume.

Typically your resume should be quick and easy to scan from the top left corner to bottom left corner and convey most of the info. Id’ recommend watching some videos and read some posts on how to make a solid resume.

Other than that, I strongly recommend having a github that has a fully functional simple application on it that you have made on your own time, with numerous commits and a well fleshed out readme, ideally multiple paragraphs.

Just as an example, I have numerous projects on my github and most of them have some semblance of a readme. Try and include:

1. What is the application
2. Why would you wanna use it
3. Installation instructions
4. A blurb linking to the report page for the github, that basically amounts to “Found a bug, report it here”
5. A simple basic roadmap of future features you are thinking of adding (doesnt need to be actually happening, but it looks really good to have)
