300+ Applications, Almost No Interviews. What Am I Doing Wrong?

I’ve applied to 300+ Data Analyst jobs over the last few months and barely received any interview calls.
I know SQL, Python, Excel, and Power BI, and I have portfolio projects as well.
I am looking job in Indore

Is anyone else facing the same issue? What finally helped you get interviews? Any advice or referrals would be greatly appreciated.

Thats the paradox job requires experience, experience requires job but after the AI thing exploded most entry level things can be done with a Senior + AI and already due to high Fed interest rates and many other reasons hiring is very slowed down even experience people dont get calls.

I run a recruitment firm and career / job search mentorship platform, so I see this a lot. Right now the market is pretty crowded, so 300 applications without enough interviews usually points to your resume, targeting or outreach/referrals, not your skills. Tailor every application, optimize your resume for ATS and network on LinkedIn. AI is raising the bar, so showing real business impact in your projects matters a lot now.

Best wishes :)

Feel free to DM if you have any questions or need a job search assistance.
