Let me give you some insight. Out of 100 applications, 60 don't meet even the most basic resume standards (zero experience, not in country, blatant errors). Of the 40 remaining, 20 do not have adequate experience in the field. Of the 20 left, 10 fail the phone screen, 5 fail the interview loop and a single applicant is far better than the other 4 who got this far.

You are not competing with 100 other applicants (unless you put zero effort into your resume and have no experience, in which case you have bigger issues).

The amount of blatant errors I've seen in resumes is massive.
