Despite applying to over 100 jobs weekly and trying hard to secure at least two interviews every week, after months of effort, I’ve only received rejections.
This journey has been challenging, but I’m committed to improving and succeeding.
Could anyone offer insights into what I might be doing wrong, or share strategies that have worked for you in a similar situation?

What I feel is working better for me this time is the quality of the jobs I’m applying to, not the quantity. I am being more intentional with my job search, even though I have also been laid off for a few months now, but it’s gotten more traction since I started applying, have had 5 interviews in 2+ months and 1 offer that ended up not being the best fit for me, but still focusing on what I want versus trying to cast a net on every open role! I receive plenty of rejections ofcourse but that was more when I mass applied. It will work out better in the long run, and I recommend having a cover letter even though there are some conflicting perspectives about this.

Try activating your network. If you don’t have one aggressively do informational interviews. Online job hunting alone is brutal.
