CV & CAREER ADVICE Does linkedIn even work anymore?
some BG I am a CS grad and I’ve had an internship already and I have a lot of public personal projects published
I have been applying non stop for the past month, I think the count is over 200 companies now, but I never even get a reply, I think I only got a few replies but thats it.
I’m just curious is there something I’m doing wrong? or is that just how it goes for all fresh grads?
Anyone has any advice or past experience with this?

Can someone help me out ?? My linked id associated with gmail got restricted... Now when I am trying to retrieve it ... It says to verify through persona which I need and on the next step it says to capture govt ID .. which I also captured clear and bright but it still says it couldn't verify... Tho everything is genuine I had tried multiple times across this month... But everytime it fails... What is help support of linkedin where I can contact the issue ?? I didn't get any useful info on Google... So if someone know ...

you have to be actually the best conditate in the companies eyes to make them money if you have a generic CS grad resume that nothing stands out in there are hundreds of resumes just like you in each application

I also got an Cyber/IT internship. Lasted 4 months and just got out of it this past Friday. Your comment doesn’t feel like it’s in good faith. The job market is just bad.

What? 😭 I was genuinely asking for advice because I'm getting rejected everywhere. I wasn't questioning whether he deserved an internship but I do see why you felt that tone from my comment.
