So, maybe his CV is just not good or has some huge mistake and it's not about personalized cover letters?

However, in the high demand market of software engineers an individual application is the not the key of getting a job. Not at all. It's your profile (is is good? does it fit?) AND that you applied at all. Just guess why devs get dozen of headhunter calls per week without writing a single cover letter...

Because they are experienced. For a fresh grad, the job market is tough. Very tough in some cases.

OP is actually above average by having an actual side project. He just needs help with his resume or application.
