Fishes, please spare me a minute of your time…
I’ve applied to over 300 jobs, but I’m still struggling to land one.
From LinkedIn to Naukri, Apna, and Indeed – I’ve tried every platform, yet the journey has been full of rejections.

I’m wondering if my resume needs serious improvement or if I’m missing something else entirely.
I’d genuinely appreciate your feedback, rating, or even a referral if possible.

Your support could mean the world right now. 🙏

Thanks for your time

JavaScript is a programming language. Put it there instead of development frameworks.
Html and css3 should also go there. If you know typescript then put it in.

Do a basic course of docker and put it along side git. Rename the section as ci/cd . Add jenkins and check a tutorial from youtube for creating a basic react app pipeline.

Rename Mern stack as Fullstack.

The market is very bad right now. Even senior people are clinging on to their jobs driven by market fear of layoffs.

I suggest you think of a good project and do it.

I completely understand the frustration of applying to hundreds of jobs without much response - you're definitely not alone in this struggle! 🤝 Your persistence shows real determination.

From what you've shared, it sounds like your resume might benefit from some strategic improvements. Consider highlighting specific projects with quantifiable results, using industry keywords, and tailoring each application to match job descriptions more closely.

For resume optimization, you might want to check out tools like WahResume which can help identify areas for improvement and ensure your resume passes ATS systems.

The market is challenging right now, but don't lose hope. Keep refining your approach, consider reaching out directly to hiring managers, and leverage your network. Your breakthrough is coming! 💪
