That's about the number of applications i put in for my current job

This system needs to burn

[–] OmegaMan@lemmings.world 6 points 4 months ago

I don't remember how many applications I had to do before I landed this job. Been here around 8 years. I know it was in the hundreds.

I also had to reach out and speak with the recruiter directly and do a cover letter. It was all very extra.

Now with recruiters using AI tools and such... I fear having to find another job.

I learned recently that indeed shares with the applied-to company how many other jobs the applier has applied to. So they see you applied to 150 other jobs, and don't even look at you.

I applied to over 600, and got two interviews. Neither worked out to be anything. Then, I said fuck it and started my own freelance business.

I've only had 2 jobs in my life so far at 30. First one was doing the whole hundreds of applications a month thing and it took me a year and a half to get hired. Second time I did 5 applications and got hired within a couple weeks of starting the search.

Probably helps I'm not looking for specific fields and just wanted a job that would take someone without a college/trade school education or much of any previous experience. Should pay at least $20/hr also.

younger people end up doing stuff like YouTube and dropshipping

I understand them. Sometimes work is just not worth it.

[–] ArmchairAce1944@discuss.online 5 points 4 months ago

Fuck that shit.

[–] BilSabab@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

1500 is way overblown in this economy.

I’d hate to be a graduate or junior developer at the moment. It was always rough but the market is rotting from the inside.
