Lastly,
You don’t want to be sending in applications for jobs and never hearing back from the employers in 2019.
Sadly, this will continue to happen unless you improve your CV. Employers receive hundreds of applications and it is very hard to stand out especially since everyone else applying is just as qualified as you.
