What country are you from?

Do you have CS degree and multiple mid size projects on github or 1 big size project on github?

Do you have open source contributions?

Did you do networking during the university?

(I'm not saying I recommend doing these or that it's minimum requirement to have all of these).

i mean your in last year you shouldn't be applying to internships, half of what i applied to didn't allow senior applications, they usually ask for one more semester after you do the internship at least

 

[NotAMogger]

152 is rookie numbers nowadays

i see people struggle with 1000s of apps but usually its cuz their resume is ass
if u dont get any responses ur resume is prolly ass or not ats friendly

i must be the luckiest man on earth or a resume god cuz ive gotten a response for every company ive applied to and i only ever applied to 2... one for an internship i got in college (which i quit after a week jfl) and then another for my current job

Tbh, you don't even need all these side projects. All you need is a good GPA, relevant courses, non shitty school
and most recruiters are fine letting you through. And just go to job fairs at your college and hand them your resume.

No good connections? Its gonna be rough for you

this is computer science, school major and gpa don't really matter, nothing matters more than relevant experience and leetcode. Hes struggling because hes a senior and only applied to internships, he needed to apply to full time positions

Leetcode helps for getting past the interview.
Experience helps with full time positions.
For internships, he’ll just need a good GPA, courses and school to get past the resume screen for the 1st round

I've sent it to some hiring managers on some CS discords and they all say It looks great or rate it above a 8/10. ATS friendly though? Thats probably where Im fucked, I didn't stack buzzwords or frameworks that would get me put on the top

 

[BecomingHuman]

Did you try applying to full time positions? You might have more chances there however absurd it sounds
