I am applying to entry level software engineering positions and keep getting rejected. Some places reject me after a day or two, and some take there time to reject me. Most of the positions I don't hear back from. A very small fraction give me a coding test, which I thought I've have done alright on, but then they still reject me. Do I need more relevant project experience? Is there something wrong with my resume? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

your web dev internship bullet points are not good
please review this #1008225248098926753 message
maybe add some horizontal lines after section name
u can remove ir address from ur resume, thats kinda going outta style these days and can sometimes unfortunately open u up to discrimination
remove all instances of pronouns in ur resume. Google if youre unsure which ones you use, i see quite a few

Here is the new resume! Let me know what you think
I realized in going through the documents on this discord channel, that I don't have enough experience. My internship was 2 years ago and what I did was not very significant. I'm looking into doing some freelancing on Fiverr. Not sure if you know this, but how can I get started on Fiverr. I'm confident in my programming skills, but what if someone gives me something that I know will take me lots of time or gives it to me when I am really busy
Additionally, the Spotify Clone App was a group project and I didn't really know what I was doing when doing it, which is why I took it off my resume before. Additionally, the app can't actually play the songs but emulates the data around the songs in text form. I didn't specify this, but should I?
Also, after realizing that having full stack apps that work with a database seems quite essential to success, I added it back on. I have been learning Javascript and React the past few days and intend to make my own full-stack app that I can know the ins and outs of and maybe even get some users!

not sure how to get started on fiverr but youre still in school and you have time to make ur own better projects? i feel like doing that (or attending hackathons, and contributing to open source github repos) would be faster than trying to get , and complete a project on fiverr for maybe 1 bullet point on the resume
formatting is better, more clear and easy to read
bullet points are better as well
you just need stronger projects to replace the last 1 IMO
u dont have to say it was for a group project, i would remove that bit
can remove “Individual Project”
you can also continue working on ur class projects? like why not upgrade the spotify one to actually use spotify via the API
for ur internship experience, u created this easily visualized graph or whatever. Why did they have you do this? the answer to this question will lead to an improved bullet point which i will explain after
