Why i am not getting shortlisted ? Any brutally honest critique is appreciated
I graduated last year with a BTech in Computer Science. After getting rejected by almost every company I applied to, I decided to move to Bangalore and spend the year learning Data Science, Machine Learning, and Generative AI instead of sitting idle.
During that time, I completed a course, built several end-to-end projects (RAG chatbot, AI medical report summarizer, chest X-ray pneumonia detection, etc.), and learned Python, SQL, FastAPI, TensorFlow, PyTorch, LangChain, Hugging Face, FAISS, Streamlit , ML/DL concepts,NLP,CNN .
Now I'm applying for AI/ML Engineer, Data Scientist, and Generative AI roles, but I'm barely getting any responses. Most job postings ask for 1–2 years of experience, even for "entry-level" positions. Applying daily for 10+ job openings in intenshala , naukri , linkedin from last month ,barely getting any reply .
I'm genuinely looking for honest feedback. If I'm lacking skills, I'll learn them. If my projects aren't good enough, I'll rebuild them. If my resume is weak, I'll rewrite it. Please provide honest advise .
