Hello fellow Redditors, I am hoping to find some help with respect to job hunting. I have obtained a Bachelor's of Computer Science about 5 years ago but have had absolutely zero luck with job applications. I have sent out what seems to be maybe 200-300 or so applications and got one interview (no further offer, through a connection). It seems that I have spent so much time trying but not getting anywhere. I ended up going back to my previous career because I had bills to pay. I have always been interested in tech and have been a tinkerer forever - taking things apart to see how they work - both hardware, and software. I hate to see the time invested in my new career go to waste (other than the intellectual knowledge), and, I do truly want to work in this industry. For context, I live in Ontario, near the GTA. I would prefer remote or nearby (west of GTA) if it's onsite. For my resume, I used the "famous sheets" resume on Reddit. I don't know if it was my resume per se, it looks like a pretty typical graduate resume I would think(?) I had my university review it and have made the suggested modifications to make it look good. I have also further tweaked it a bit with the help of my peers. I do not have a lot of technology experience besides it being a hobby (as I have mentioned), and of course, my education. Any tips / help / where to apply / perhaps using AI to improve my resume? Thanks! Edit 1: Have not been looking for 5 years steadily, I have looked on-and-off due to life. Think of it as "application blitzes".
