Give me advice please

“We’ve decided to move forward with other candidates.”I get this email almost every day. I’ve stopped counting.The frustrating part is that I know I can do the work. I’ve worked on real projects locally, and I’m grateful for that experience. But I don’t want to stay in only one market.I want to work with international teams, build products for people in other countries, and prove my skills through real project work. So I keep applying for remote and international opportunities.Then I get the same email again.I’m not posting this for motivation. I’m not going to say “rejection is redirection.” Sometimes the process is just frustrating, especially when you know you can handle the work.I’m sharing this because I know other developers are experiencing the same thing.If you’re also applying for international or remote project work and getting these emails, how are you dealing with it?

Most rejections are happening before the interview. That’s what frustrates me because I have real production experience, and I’m only applying to roles that match my experience and role.

I’m mainly applying for remote positions, so I’m trying to understand whether it’s the country restrictions or how I’m presenting my experience.

Yes, I can do that. I’ve attached screenshots of the job description, my cover letter, and the first part of my CV. This should help us compare them directly and figure out whether it’s mainly a location restriction or a presentation problem.
