I've been applying to product companies recently and would appreciate some advice.

I have 3.5+ years of experience in Java, Spring Boot, Microservices, AWS, and Kafka, along with hands-on development experience. I've also been preparing DSA and System Design, taken referrals, and had my resume reviewed by an Engineering Manager.

Yet, I'm hardly getting shortlisted.

For those working in product companies, what usually makes a candidate stand out during shortlisting? What might I be missing?

If previous company is service based, then it will be hard to get shortlisted, but hang on, you might get a chance sooner or later.
