Recent MS Data Analytics grad struggling to land a data engineer role (I've 2+ years of experience as a Data Engineer). Applied to 500+ jobs in the past month with only 2 interviews. I know my SQL, Python, ETL & AWS skills make me a strong candidate. Seeking advice from experienced data pros on getting through initial application screening and standing out. What worked for you when starting out?

If you're comfortable, I'm seeking referrals/tips/insights!
