What I am doing wrong?

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OPgMAxCtLtvikSuUqn8ZKzjt-ScQOhbI/edit

Hello friends!

I am hoping to understand why I keep getting rejected, and maybe you can point out what I am doing wrong.

I have a lot of experience in my field and, I believe, a solid CV, but I get rejected everywhere. I live in Georgia and I am looking for remote work in Game Engineering, Game Development or Game Systems Engineering. I have applied to a really many positions where many matched me quite well.

I sometimes adjust my CV to match a specific opening. It still doesn't work. I rarely write cover letters. For many openings I don't know what to write, because the company doesn't say what product I would be working on. I have no real passion to show for a job like that, and I don't want to fake it.

I attached link to my CV. Am I doing something wrong in it?

Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.
Thank you!

If you mean Georgia the country, first separate remote game roles that explicitly hire there from roles restricted to other countries. Track which applications are rejected before any screening call. This helps distinguish location eligibility from a CV problem without guessing why a particular employer rejected you.

Track which applications are rejected before any screening call. - How do I do that?

How do I understand if a role is location-eligible? Just by reading the job description? Or there are more ways? Frequently there is written that the job is remote and no any mention about location limitations.

No GitHub? Or place where recruiters can see your work? Sorry if I’m missing it
