If you’re a recent grad not getting interview calls, don’t get discouraged—but do get strategic. First, stop sending the same resume everywhere. Tailor it for each job by matching keywords from the job description and focusing on real impact from your internships, college projects, or volunteer work. Recruiters don’t just want degrees—they want proof you can solve problems. Build a LinkedIn profile that tells your story and start engaging: post, comment, and connect with people in your target industry. Most entry-level jobs come through networking, not cold applications. Create a simple online portfolio (GitHub, Notion, or even Google Drive) to showcase what you’ve done—it gives you an edge over other freshers. Also, practice mock interviews and tighten your pitch—you’ve got to be memorable once you land the call. And don’t underestimate smaller companies or contract gigs—they often lead to bigger breaks. Bottom line: show your value, stay visible, and don’t wait for permission to stand out.
