Based on my own experience, the large majority of students looking for industry jobs (including myself) will apply to many jobs without even hearing back. To read about people complaining about being recruited is the complete opposite of our problem.

It might happen as soon as you land a job in the industry. You're a much easier sell for a recruiter if somebody else has already interviewed and hired you; it's less risky.

I've been at my job for about a year post university. Semi-actively applying and not a single reply back. I don't know if its my resume, me only having a single year of experience, or something else.

Make sure you have your full profile filled on LinkedIn, as recruiters pay to access their database.

I see, thank you. I guess I should dust it off and update it. It's been a while..
