Maybe 1 or 2 per day. I'm not keen on the "spray and pray" method. I try to focus on my skillset and to jobs I actually want to do. I do understand it's tough when bills are starting to pile up so anything is better than nothing.

5-10

At minimum 20 but probably close to 50

I would say around 5-10 per day.

So far due to limited jobs in my field I can only apply to those positions only. In a month so far I applied to 20-30 jobs so far. I also starting taking training courses related to the insurance industry that require licenses so I have 3 more field’s available in the insurance industry. I can’t apply to many jobs at the moment without the required insurance license so I have to take training classes then test then get licenses from the government. So right now only minimal applications. So far I had many responses but only 6 interviews but they hired a better match

I feel like if I am not applying to 10-20 am doing something wrong. The current job market is so depressing.

Over the past 4 months I have applied to 107 jobs that I meet all minimum requirements, and preferred experience and education. My resume is good, my cover letters are good. I have had multiple HR and Recruitment people in my network review each. I have interviewed for 8 different companies. Got 1 offer I turned down (low pay and significant travel requirements not in job posting).

I am actively interviewing with 2 companies. I am being considered for 3 openings I applied for 2 weeks ago, but no contact yet. Assuming I am not being considered for the 70+ jobs I've gotten no response from.

My situation is comparable to what other like skilled and experienced people in my area are experiencing.

During the pandemic I lost my job and was desperate. I found a 5 month tax law internship to full hire and applied.
Description: “$20/hr to JDs, $15/hr to JD students”.
This was our convo.
Me: …I graduated from law school a few months ago…
Interviewer: so I’ll be paying you $15/hr if you’re hired… I’ll let you know in a week
Me (in no position to negotiate): umm… okay
*3 months later*
Interviewer: You’re hired! However it will now be an unpaid internship, are you still interested?
Me: *ghosts*

I saw some sales managers discussing hiring strategies, especially for entry level roles (e.g. SDR, BDR).

One strategy that came up was having the applicant do 90 minutes of cold calling into real prospects with the hiring manager coaching.

What do you think of this approach? Would be curious to hear from both hiring manager perspectives and from candidate perspectives.

Hi,
My current company is going out of business next week. I am rushing to get my next job lined up (probably won’t happen in time but I’m trying my best). My question is: should I be honest about why I’m looking for a new job? Is it wrong to not share this info during my interviews? Is this situation going to affect my interview process somehow? Please share your thoughts and wisdom! Thanks!

So i have been fortunate that i have managed to go through my career without the need for a degree. I was lucky enough to have been hired by one of the worlds top consulting firms, worked with a whole lot of big clients and travelled a lot. It's gotten to the point where I am not even asked about the lack of a degree on my resume. Personally though, it bothers me. I have a whole bunch of certifications in my industry…but just no formal degree. (cont'd)

Which one should I go for?

1. Oracle - 18.3 LPA fixed + probable bonus (I may or may not get)
2. Amadeus - 18 fixed + 1.5 variable.

Amadeus is also giving joining bonus of 75k. Amadeus is paying more, may give better hikes too, but I am finding it hard to let go off Oracle's brand name on my resume even if it's means around 2L less over an year. I am planning to work for atleast 3 years in my next company.

What would you have done in my place? Should I go for Oracle or Amadeus?

Hi everyone,

I have got the ey hr mail stating i should provide him with aadhar card, information sheet and latest resume for a audit and assurance contract for 6 months as iam a semi qualified CA.

Here my question is should i take this opportunity. Cause since this is only for 6 months. After that, what i can do, where should I try to get the job?

In mid size firms, people won't pay as much as big 4 pays.

Should I take it or am I making a mistake by taking this.

I have been laid off going on 3 months now and I’ve never felt so discouraged in my life. This job hunt for me has been frustrating and draining. It really has taken a toll on my mental health and maybe even confidence. I feel like I’m losing momentum. Any advice on staying positive throughout this journey? It’s so hard to stay upbeat and motivated at times.
