Good day senior programmers in the house,
Please I seek your opinion. The extent of rejection mails I get is just too much. I don't know what is wrong, even at positions I feel I tick all the boxes. Kindly, advice.
I have a copy of my resume attached.
Thanks in anticipation

How many applications have you sent out? Up to 700? 400? 200? 100?

There is no need to give up on your goal.
My advice to you is get a job that will help pay bill while you are learning and applying to job. That's what I do. My own case is impostor syndrome

Another thing is join the right channel, groups, subreddit, and quora for help. There might be some stuff to change in resume/CV.

I went through your CV and I must say it will fail ATS test. Horrible format. Adding color is of no need. Your CV is 2pages make it 1page. You will need to remake your CV ground up.

Thanks boss

Lol rejection mails and you don dey cry. I get at least 10 rejection mails every morning when I wake up. You have to get used to rejection. You are a man for God's sake. Remove the date you graduated from your CV. It's easy to guess your age that way.

Add some experience apart from the freelancer job. White people will question this gaps so you didn't do anything from 2012 when you graduated till 2020 also apply to jobs in Nigeria and other poorer western countries. Dont limit your search to places like USA or UK especially as you have no experience.

Thanks boss, I get the message

Add your mechanical engineering experience but why the switch though. You would probably have at least 8 years of experience as a mechanical engineer and you have a good GPA. Why do you wanna move into tech instead of advancing as an engineer.

Mechanical Engineer in a Refrigeration and air-conditioning company. Also, in a private sector. The growth is limited. Moreover, refrigeration and air-conditioning is not high selling in Nigeria.
Secondly, I learnt about tech, ventured in it and began loving it. If you have the first opportunity, it's easier to establish in tech than any other field. That's my opinion though.

Would yield your advice above, thanks.

Thats good. I think you need to really refine the UI of your projects. You should try and link up with that guy that posts nicely designed projects and let him give you tips on how to make everything look much better. The rejection is normal you just need to keep applying.

Noted boss.

Noted boss.

you have experience. I would say link your projects to the actual companies and the achievements your app did for them. Your rejection is not your fault. There is a lot of bias and competition in the market. You can use other job boards to apply.

Hmm
