oh dude, you got rejected without an interview? they didn't even look at your resume.
are you new to job hunting? i hire for my job. we reject 90% of applicants without even looking at the resumes, because we get so many and they are terrible. most applicants don't even change up their resume for the job/company and it's obvious.
the issue is that most applicant spam any/every job with the same generic resume and expect to get picked based on that. they won't.
we pick people who actually have a relevant resume and cover letter and show us they actually want to work for us. crazy idea!
it's so bad when i was running a volunteer org... we'd get constant spam for people seeking full time professional work... and to get paid like 80k/yr for volunteer positions... people are fucking idiots. we used to reply and be lik e'oh sorry we are volunteer only' and they'd reply back and go to tell us to fuck ourselves... so we stopped trying to even bother and just send anything with a resume to the trash folder.
people whine online about not getting picked... but having been on the other end of it... you don't get 'picked' because so much of what you are sending out is trash/garbage.
Wot.
Do you want us to give you a blowjob too? Is that what's expected of us these days?
... And for an unpaid volunteer position they needed a stellar resume to even apply to? Like wtaf
