Do you keep track of all your applications, or are you submitting too many to count? Any idea what your interview "hit rate" is? I used to track more, but it's impossible to check your status on so many platforms, it doesn't always seem worth it.

Tracking applications can be tough, especially with so many platforms. Using PracHub for real interview questions and coding prep helps focus on the right opportunities without losing track.

I just file the automated email that says thanks for applying so I have a record with a date stamp

I keep a list in a spreadsheet: date applied, company name, title, is it remote/hybrid/in person, was a salary range posted. The dates are for in case the EI people ever ask, and the rest is because companies routinely wait weeks or months to respond (if they ever do) and I want to remember the key details.

In the past 193 days, I've sent out 304 applications and received eight offers for interviews. Eight. Trying to find work in Canada is a nightmare.

Is sticking up for yourself even worth it? My boss is always on my ass as if I’m constantly missing, or about to miss, deadlines. I’ve never missed one. I’ve received the same damn lecture/email about monitoring all case deadlines a hundred times. I always just professionally explain that we’re not about to miss any and discuss the progress. Well, I’ve about had it and am ready to go off. I’m sick of basically being told that I’m not doing my job. How should I address this issue?

Quick question.
I was a contractor for a big company and they just let me know that my last day is December 30th. I got this position thanks to a recruiting company that has been great and gives me benefits.
Should I:
- Continue working with the recruiting company, hoping that they will find another position for me? (as they told me they will, and when they applied me I started working with my current company within 2 weeks)
- Work with the recruiter + apply for jobs on my own?
