      This looks really unlucky no? My experience has been if i get to the first interview, it’s usually a sure thing…
      Is the software industry that fucked rn?

      What’s your background? Native or foreigner? Recently graduated or have experience in the field?

      Huh. I’ve always gotten a job on the first try. That seems rly harsh!

      I’m going through this myself and it is indeed very rough out there. But a 2% interview rate makes me think you’re either applying for a lot of jobs you’re unqualified for or there is something wrong with your CV. Might be worth getting your CV reviewed just in case.

      This is interesting to see a visual breakdown here. Could you share more? For example your education level, years of experience you have, sector/industry, general role you’re applying for, your nationality (or at least foreign vs Finnish)?

      Have you adapted your CV? To get so many instant rejects may indicate that your CV is not attractive. Managers don’t have much time (or say they don’t), when they see a wall of text, you end up in the shredder.

      That is on average 1-2 applications per day for the past 2 years. Did you just mass apply to everything?

      The market for junior is tough, but you can try to find a summer internship/trainee position and go from there, or target startups that recently got funding.

      Your up against leech Giants.., Global IT Consulting/Services Firms, or Fintech/Software product companies that spam fir job openings.. yes it also happens in finland to a extent

      I know the market is very hard right now, but having over 1000 applications and not getting anything kind of feels like something is wrong.

      Have you ever had a person in the industry look over your CV? Or give you advice on how you interview?

      😳 my numbers from ~15 years ago were like 30 applications, 6 interviews, 3 that I accepted after first interview (I changed company two times), 1 rejection from employer’s side and two rejections from my side. I had no connections to any of the companies.

      Would be interesting to see some large scale comparison for applicants over the years.

      I got my first job 10 yrs ago, but I believe the same advice could still work now. Networking is very important. Try to find ways to meet people in the industry and preferably in professional discussions. I used to go to meet ups and all sort of tech discussions forum. A lot of jobs in Finland don’t show up on linked in.

      With AI, side projects might not be as valuable, but it’s a good way to gain experience that you can share in interviews or discussions.

      Good luck, and keep digging. Even when I was seeking, during the best years of tech, I still got a lot of rejections

      Apply to the big banks. Stable, good careers and they are not afraid to hire foreigners
