Any resume advice would be appreciated
I'm a Computer Science graduate from 2024 who still hasn't managed to land a job. Partly my own fault since I didn't realise I had to be applying during my final year and missed the boat for 2025 roles. I get the occasional OA and have had probably 5-6 interviews in the past 14 months (Some government, some smaller local defence companies, even did Amazon's 5 hour interview loop last year), but not as many as I would like obviously.
My thought process is that this year is probably the last time I can keep applying for roles before I am cut out from too many and my degree starts to lose it's relevance, so some advice would be appreciated before I send off a new bunch of applications.
Some Context:
- I had never really considered studying computer science until a couple years into uni. I was originally studying astrophysics and then mathematical science before finding computer science and loving it. Thats why uni took 5 years becuase it was actually parts of 4 different degrees.
- My GPA is pretty terrible, hence why I dont have it on my resume, so I know that alone has disqualified me from more than a few roles. That's mostly from me having a pretty poor "a pass is a pass" attitude at uni after burning out which I obviously regret.
- I've got some current projects I work on like the Weather server project but a combination of working full-time and feeling a bit lost and stuck means I dont really know what else to be doing.
- I've tried applying to both graduate and junior roles as I've seen suggested before but I only ever seem to have any luck with graduate roles so that's really all I'm applying to at the moment.
