r/indiafreshers

Finding a job as a fresher is honestly much harder than I expected. Over the past weeks, I’ve applied to 50+ companies but received only one callback, and that was for a machine test.

I have a B.Tech in IT with a good CGPA, along with a certification in Data Science and Generative AI. I’ve also completed a few capstone projects and two internships. I’ve revised my resume multiple times and tailored it with keywords based on job descriptions, but I’m still not getting interview calls.

My university had decent placement opportunities, but I skipped them because I was focused on pursuing higher studies abroad. I ended up spending about 1.5 years on that plan, but it didn’t work out. Now that I’ve started actively job hunting, I’m finding it really difficult to break in.

Recently, I came across third-party recruitment agencies. I always assumed most of them were scams, but I’ve seen some people getting placed through them—though not in my field or location.

Has anyone here had genuine experience with my current situation ? Are they worth trying, or should I avoid them?

Also open to any suggestions on how to improve my chances of getting interview calls.

Okay so this is a bit embarrassing to share but maybe it'll help someone.

I was applying everywhere for the past 2 months — startups, MNCs, even some decent-paying internships. Sending 10-15 applications a week. Getting ghosted on almost all of them. One or two rejections after a HR round, nothing beyond that.

I genuinely thought the market was just bad. You know how everyone says "it's not you, it's the market"? I believed that.

Then a friend pointed out something — he asked me if I had ever actually checked whether my resume is ATS-compatible. I said yes obviously (I used a clean Word template lol). He showed me how most companies in India literally never see your resume as a human first — it goes through an ATS filter, gets scored, and if you're below a threshold you just... disappear.

I went and checked my resume against a job description I had applied to. The keyword overlap was embarrassingly low. Like I had the skills, just not the words they were scanning for. A software tool called BluffHR does this — you upload your CV and the JD together and it runs around 20 different checks in like 30 seconds. ATS score, missing keywords, interview prep questions tailored to the role, stuff like that.

Within a week of tweaking my resume based on the gaps it showed, I started actually getting calls.

Not saying it's magic. The interviews still need you to perform. But I genuinely did not know my resume was losing me before I even got a chance to speak.

If you're in that silent rejection loop, maybe check your resume before assuming the market hates you. It might just be an ATS thing.

I have done B.Tech from tier 2-2.5 university from Mumbai, i will be graduating in a month but still don’t have any offers yet, i have cybersecurity skills but for freshers somehow there’s no opportunities for cybersecurity specific role not even SOC now, also tried getting referrals but didn’t worked out, any suggestions/guidance would be appreciated.

I recently got selected for a Junior AI Engineer role. During the interview, I managed to convince the CEO that I’m capable, but in reality, I don’t have hands-on experience building AI agents or working with tools like Claude.

The role specifically involves creating AI agents, which is something I’ve never done before. I have about a week before I start as a paid intern, and they’re offering a good salary along with a Claude subscription.

I’m unsure how to approach this situation and what steps I should take to quickly get up to speed and perform well in the role.
