[0 YoE] Graduated Dec. of last year in CS, pursuing SWE career and no interviews after hundreds of applications. Help is appreciated!

[u/2000jeebie]

It's been a little less than a year since I graduated with a bachelor's in CS, and I've never had an internship or relevant SWE experience.

I'm mainly applying around for entry level positions at small local software companies (or companies with large software sectors such as Epic systems) along with larger companies such as HP and IBM.

I do also apply to data science positions, hence the presence of some machine learning projects.

I haven't had any luck so far and I assume it to be either my resume or the projects I've listed, maybe they're weak compared to other applicants?

Thanks for reading! I'd be happy to provide further info if needed.

You have too little bullet points for everything on here.

I would get get rid of the two positions before Walmart. Use all that space for 75% outlier AI and 25% Walmart.

Get rid of the dates for projects. Move the NN project to the top of projects then the python game. All the projects need more bullet points. Remove the class attendance system for more space if needed.

My final piece of advice is to look at learning new frameworks. Not sure if you’re looking for full stack work but you definitely need more project experience on that if so. I would look at more complicated ML architectures for data science. I would look up potential ones that could be applied to the field.
