You need to tailor them, and yes it's a huge PITA. Basically all large companies now use software screeners on resumes that have been submitted. If they don't find X number of keywords they are looking for, a real person will never even see it.

Do you have references/endorsements on your LinkedIn? My current gig started with that. Our now retired boss, found that one of my buddies that works where I do now, had given me a nice endorsement as my mentor.

They reached out to me, 4 interviews later and I moved 110 miles, a 5 figure pay raise, sign on bonus, etc.
I do not have any endorsements or such, I don't know what you mean in that. Like my linked in is very bare bc I have no job experience.

I started to Taylor my resume to different job applications but still no response, it's getting kind of annoying. I want to blame covid but I still don't understand why it's this hard. I graduated in may.
