I was looking to get help with getting employed in the tech industry as I am a recent graduate and am not getting luck for the past three months of applying. I was researching SynergisticIT. There are many reviews that say SynergisticIT bootcamp is a scam. I'm sure, like me, most jobseekers go with the reviews to decide; however, reviews can be manipulated. Does anyone have any real-time experience?
Graduated a year and a half ago, still looking
My advice would be to write that you have been an independent web developer for the last year and a half. If you haven't made yourself a website yet, do it. Get permission from your two clients to showcase your work. Don't lie and say you have done more, but don't openly say "these are the only two clients I've designed websites for".
I don't think the certifications are bad, but I don't think they will help you, other than show that you have kept busy.
How many companies have you applied to? Can you break down the numbers of your rejections (like, how many companies didn't get back to you, how many rejected you after a phone screen, after round X, etc.)?
Have you been picky with your companies? You may have to settle for being a junior dev at not necessarily the greatest tech firm in town. Are you in a tech hub of some sort?

Having skepticisms about SynergisticIT
The ones that make you pay for your "training" if you leave are pretty bad. I can only imagine that the ones that make you pay for it upfront regardless are even worse.
