Advice for New Grad?

Question

Hi, I am currently a Software Dev intern at AT&T looking for new grad/entry level positions.

I have been applying to new job postings (<1 week) but I have been rejected pretty quickly (<3 days). I can't tell if it is because of the hiring season or my resume although I feel like my resume is pretty strong. I am willing to share my resume for any feedback.

Regarding technical interview prep, I have been grinding Leetcode again (around 100+ med/hard problems) while following an approach of thinking outloud and talking about time complexities and all that jazz.

I am definitely anxious for this upcoming application season and I feel like any advice/help from the community would be greatly appreciated!

Same, just graduated a few weeks ago. This market is rough for new grads right now.

One piece of advice I would give is take your best school project you have done, and really polish it up. Good white space, well documented, write tests and get it above 80% code coverage, etc. A lot of employers will either look at your code by looking you up, or ask for you to walk them through a piece of code. Making a project you did look very professional can set you apart from other recent graduates.
