Graduate
Hello! I'm a fresh grad looking for resume tips. I already applied over 50 jobs but i heard back from none. it’s been a month+ & i’m slowly losing my mind. 🫠 i used famous resume template & followed all the tips all over the internet, but nothing. starting to think maybe my resume just blending in with the other 10,000 fresh grads out there. how do y’all make yours actually stand out? like fr, how do i make a recruiter STOP scrolling and say “ok this IS THE ONE”? pls help a struggling soul 🙃

Have you applying to the internal website or using the easy apply feature on JS or linkedin? Cause lot of jobs want you to applying in their website and sometimes ignore the easy apply feature. Also get somebody to proofread your resume and review career options.

If you’re applying to everything but getting nothing, maybe try narrowing down. Quality > quantity. I stopped mass applying and started spending 30–45 mins tailoring each application. Yes, slow, but I got more interviews that way 🤩🤩

Go for internship to gain some exp. maybe one of the management like your work ethic during these period and bring you in to their team. Also, it will help you build connection and keep mind sanity

Job searching has become increasingly challenging, with many applicants submitting 50 to 100 applications without receiving a response. Despite this, persistence is key, keep applying and refining your approach. Customize your resume by incorporating key terms from job descriptions to align with employer expectations. Try applying via other job portals too. Additionally, considering a temp or contract role could provide valuable experience, potentially leading to a perm position in the future.

It’s not easy these days, but I think you’re already doing more than most by reflecting and improving. That attitude will pay off. You're not just “another fresh grad”, you’re a standout in progress ✨

Totally feel you. I was in your shoes last year. No work experience, just uni projects and internship. What helped a bit was treating my school projects like real experience. Instead of writing “Final Year Project,” I framed it like a role:
“Data Analyst (Final Year Project) – analysed XYZ, used ABC tools, presented to lecturers.”
Also added a short blurb at the top about my personality + what I’m looking for. Not magic, but helps lah.

Try swapping resumes with ur friend and review each other’s like a recruiter would. I did this and my friend pointed out jargon that made no sense. Fresh eyes can help more than ChatGPT or random tips online...

Not gonna lie, I thought using a fancy template would help too... but turns out some ATS can’t read them properly 😩 Switched to a simpler format and started getting replies. Keep it clean, keyword-optimised, and relevant. Hang in there!!!
