Keep getting rejected, applying for junior frontend web development positions (MERN)

Thanks! It's actually a LaTeX template (https://github.com/posquit0/Awesome-CV). I thought the three red letters was kind of odd but if I remove it or change it to only the first letter etc it looks kind of weird so I decided to keep it for a splash of color. I was thinking about finding another template but all the other ones look too generic, and being simple can be good, but I think this strikes a nice balance between functionally simple and aesthetically pleasing.

It's a fairly modified version of AltaCV. You can see the source code for my version on my github repo (which also includes a half-baked resume templating system)
