Optimize your resume & profile
Highlight relevant projects, internships, certifications. Even academic projects count. Use keywords that appear often in job listings you’re interested in.

Use alerts & apply early
Freshers' jobs fill fast. Set email/app alerts so you’re among the first to apply.
Network
Talk to alumni, attend webinars / virtual job fairs. Use LinkedIn to connect with recruiters—sometimes a message or comment on their content helps get noticed.
