as a recent graduate, it's hard to do that, because i don't meet the obscure software experience they require in every job opening on my field

That's where the paraphrasing and grouping comes in. If you have something sort of relevant then paraphrase the group name to make your skill fit. Sometimes I just omit things because I don't have the skill. No one expects to get 100% of the things they list.

If you're looking for your first job, my advice to people is look for jobs hiring multiple people. If there's one role you have to be the best. If there are two roles, you can be second best and still get a role.
