Not really normal as freshies usually quite easy to secure their first job provided the following:

1. Expected salary match with the market for that particular field (IT support basic usually lower but add up with allowance).

2. Academic results are good.

3. Your resume stand out and properly written/formatted.

4. Good spoken English and able to communicate f2f comfortably.



Some scenario that can contribute to your situation, just my assumption.

1. You never did market research for the salary (IT Support). You're asking same salary as someone with 1 year experience + etc.

2. Your academic result is just average but asking higher expected salary than peers with roughly the same result.

3. Your resume is messed up, tons of unneeded info + confusing format.

4. Not able to present yourself properly during phone/face to face. A lot of errrr ehhh, avoid eye contact etc.


I'm in IT field for years, do let me know if you need a second opinion on your resume. wink.gif Helping an IT junior, been there done that.
