They won't let you touch it. I've sent out more than 100 resumes and got in at only two despite having a bachelor + master in CS. The one company that I got in severely underpaid me. This is in NL and I might be an outlier, but I'm beginning to see a problem. I also applied (in secret) when I got the job, my odds didn't improve.

Send me a copy of your resume, check the profile.

Although NL might be a place where there isn't a lot of programming market, I'd be willing to bet the resume needs a bit of work.

Most probably there's something else very wrong with your resume. The job being in high demand, your foot-in-the-door rate should be much higher.
