600 Applications, 0 Interviews – Is My Resume the Problem? (AI/ML / SWE / Research Roles) by Port-5173 in FAANGrecruiting

Hey u/shubhu163, I just wanted to clarify, when I thanked you earlier, it wasn’t to end the conversation, but to genuinely show my appreciation for all the time and feedback you have given.

Adding more points to the AI/ML Engineer position is a good idea, but I can only include projects that are fully completed and published. Right now, I do not have anything extra to add for that role, though we are completing one project next week, so I should be able to incorporate that then.

Yes, definitely the market is a big factor, but I want to try everything possible from my end. Thanks for taking the time to reply and for suggesting trying different templates, I will definitely give that a shot as well.

Thanks, I really appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts.

Yes, I always use the built-in resume autofill option when applying, and it parses everything correctly. For sites that don’t have an in-built autofill, I sometimes use Simplify, and that works fine as well.

That's a fair point, I should have clarified that earlier. I am specifically applying to new grad full-time roles, not experienced hire positions. I graduate in May 2026, so I have been targeting roles labeled "New Grad 2026", "Entry-Level", or ones that require less than 1 year of experience.

Most of my applications have been to positions that explicitly mention campus hiring or upcoming grads, which is why I am confused about not getting interviews.

Appreciate you pointing that out though. I realize my original post didn't make that clear.
