I'm a Python developer and I've applied to more than 500 job postings, but I haven't received any interview calls. I'm feeling pretty desperate for a new role due to personal reasons. I've even been texting HRs right after submitting my applications. Are there any trustworthy recruitment agents out there? Also, which platforms are reliable for job applications?

If you've applied to over 500 jobs without a single interview, it might be time to take a closer look at your resume or the types of positions you're targeting. Keep in mind that for every job, there are usually hundreds of applicants, and companies often only interview a handful of them. It’s crucial to ensure your resume stands out and doesn’t get filtered out by automated systems before a human even sees it. Also, consider tweaking your applications to better match the job descriptions and requirements if you haven't already.
I’ve been using an ATS-friendly resume too. It can be tough when you face stiff competition, but platforms like LinkedIn and Indeed are solid choices for applying. Just ensure the jobs you’re going for align closely with your skills.
