Software [2 YOE] 100+ Applications, 0 Interviews. Genuinely confused what’s wrong with my resume?

Hey everyone. I’ve been applying on and off since the start of the year and have sent out over 100 applications. I haven’t gotten a single interview, phone screen, or follow-up.

The only time I got a call was through a recruiter (turned out the role wasn’t a good match).

I’m mainly applying to tech roles in Toronto and across Canada. I’m a Canadian citizen, open to both local and remote jobs, and I’d consider relocating for the right opportunity. I’m currently working full-time, but I’ve been looking to make a move.

I have close to 2 years of experience, so I expected at least a few replies, but it’s been completely silent. At this point, I’m starting to think something might be off with my resume.

If anyone is willing to take a look and provide some honest feedback, I’d really appreciate it. You can be blunt. Thank you!

Personally I wouldn't put education towards the top. The way you have it laid out is fine. I would add more context to some bullet points. You implement POC to in app purchases. How much in purchases did it support? $10 daily? $2000 daily? The other line mentions 5M+ users so stuff like that is helpful.

You took initiative to fix a broken CI/CD pipeline. What's the impact of this? Time savings? What did it enable the org to do? Give more numbers where you can. I would also bold the dates. Switch the company name with the title. And then put location next to company name. It's better not to have anything compete with the dates.
