It’s a numbers game. Keep applying all the time. Sad reality but nothing we as pleebs can do to change this.
You probably already do this, but gear your resume to the job description. Provide examples for the qualities the hiring manager is looking for.
Bonus: I’ve recommended hiring someone with less education over higher education because I knew they would fit better with our team. Worse than someone that doesn’t have skills is someone that can’t work with my team.
