Apparently one has to apply to 100 jobs a day in order to maximize their chances of being hired? This is the first time I’ve heard this. Is that true or an exaggeration?

I've seen people say things like that and I think it's ridiculous. There's no way you could put forth a legit effort and apply to that many jobs. And if you're doing some slipshod applications, what's the point? Why waste your time and anyone else's? Focus on the jobs you want and put forth a credible effort to get the job. It's not about firing resumes out of a t-shirt cannon.

I mean it might be a bit of a stretch but honestly it is not too far. I have applied for hundreds of jobs in the past six month and have gotten hardly any calls or interviews. It has been so frustrating trying to get a new job because it seems like nobody is really hiring.

What’s confusing me is how they do it. Are they applying to any position they’re qualified for without tailoring their resumes to each position? I’ve heard it’s harder if one doesn’t tailor theirs
