u/EmploymentHelpful915

Hi everyone,

I’ve been applying for months and I’m barely getting shortlisted through online applications. At this point, I honestly don’t know what I’m doing wrong.
Please be brutally honest:

Is my resume the problem?
Are my projects/experience not good enough?
Am I applying to the wrong roles?
Is there anything that would make a recruiter reject this in a few seconds?
Am I simply not applying enough?

One thing I want to be honest about: the current company on my resume is actually my friend’s company. I don’t really work there, but they offered to give me an unpaid internship/experience letter because my employment gap had become too long. I know this isn’t ideal, but I’m sharing it because I want genuine advice instead of hiding it.
Also my skills might seem section might seem too stacked but I actually have hands on experience for majority of them except few which are there for ats eg. nextjs

I’m honestly exhausted and would really appreciate any feedback. Thanks.
