Need more than 18 just keep applying you’ll get one

18 is not nearly enough. Get your resume reviewed, apply to a couple hundred more (I'm being serious), and get back to us with an update lol.It isn't humans that are reviewing your resume when you submit your job application, it is a keyword scanner...

It really depends on your location and the companies your apply to. In the current economic situation a lot to companies are cutting their internship positions or entry level positions. Don’t feel discouraged. Just bad time to search for a new job in general. As others said, it is a numbers game at this point

A redacted resume might share some insight into your reply rate. DM if you're comfortable. Plus the market isn't great for entry-level/jr devs as companines are tightening their belts to get through the incoming recession/inflation hikes, so hiring has definitely slowed down.
