Ask HN: Review my 2024 new grad resume
Here is my resume: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rWVzoQZt39hrTSHwlAUHzV9Y0wUnoikt/view?usp=sharing
Sent 650 applications from sep-sep, without spray and praying, and still got nothing. Stopped looking in late sep.
Started my job search again 2 weeks ago, 50-100 apps. Sent 10-20 cold dm's as well to managers and above at places. Had one interview 2w with a mid sized YC startup (Vizcom). Was a casual chat with the CTO, then got ghosted after.
Wondering how decent my work is, because I've seen the Linkedins of 10-15 employed new grads, who imo had less work to show. So boggles my mind a bit on what I am doing wrong.

Startup will go into life support on mid feb after MVP launch. Word of mouth takes a lot of time to grow, so growth is a slow burn.
I haven't been able to write code at my startup for most of my time here. It's split between reviewing code, sales, or product work. I do mention some technical work, but I'm wearing many hats, so it's a bit hard to show mainly technical exp.
As it stands, I’m not sure who would be hiring somebody with a founder/manager profile like yours.
I think you do have enough technical experience. You just have to sell it.
