Honestly, when I was looking- I didn’t even count. When I had the energy, I was push them out.
I don’t have a carefree approach because when you’re applying to a lot of jobs, it’s an additional job to track them. I basically scheduled my days/ week on applying for jobs and the rest of my daily tasks. I was unemployed (full time) for 5 months and then landed two jobs (I was OE for a bit). One role I applied on their website, I located them through indeed and the other was on their website, I located them through LinkedIn. My current role I applied via their website and located them via LinkedIn. I’ve landed jobs through easy/ quick apply before, so I use all methods. I frequent indeed because it is still the number one job board. I’ve also noticed that roles are parsed from the ATS to their website quicker than to LinkedIns website. I still utilize zip recruiter, monster and career builder as well. For my previous two roles, I landed one in June and one in July. My new role, I landed in early august and started in September.
The first two weeks I put in as many as I had time to "customize" my resume, were a good fit, and I knew were good companies. I made sure to go directly to company site, apply for jobs i was at least 80% qualified, and use like keywords in my resume. For example if the ad requested Microsoft Office skills I changed Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint etc. to read Microsoft Office. Most days that was three resumes. I saved the career job search link in a document. I saved a copy of the ad, added a date, etc. This helped me avoid re-applying. The third week I was less selective on companies and had my pattern down. I used the job alerts I sat up the first week to go to hiring companies and had a decent list of companies on my daily job search. I reached out to former coworkers and let it be known that i was looking. I noticed a pattern in when companies posted jobs and by the fourth week could have been more efficient in my search but had second interviews lined up. I think one day on my second week I found 10 jobs to apply for that I was qualified and wanted. That was one day and a virtual job fair. By late week 3 I had enough requests for interviews I backed off and expanded my spreadsheet to compare all benefits (salary, PTO, holidays, medical, work environment, drive time, desire etc). I printed off the job ad, wrote notes on it, printed off extra resumes, bought some plain folders with pockets. I went to the job with the folder, a pen, extra resumes. After/during each interview I made notes. Stored any handouts I was given. Thankfully I never had to job search during December early January. I feel that would have added more days to the search. Who you know will get you a job the quickest. Reach out to contacts. Let them know you are looking for "specific type of job". They will let you know of anything closely related. I got the third job I applied and the second interviewed with. For the next six months I received calls. Several were.. you applied for job A but we filled it but now have job B.
Yes am satisfied
The thing is ATS systems are so clogged that it is hard to get any busability or traction at all. I generally get approached for jobs from great companies. I have had several late stage interviews. Two final interview and no offers in the last 5 months. I think that reaching out to people you know is the best route. It’s very hard out there these days and easy to get burnt out. I’m amping up my activity now that the holidays are over. I do think this first week back is still a little slow with people getting back in the saddle
How are you doing now? I want to make sure you stay motivated and avoid burnout 😉👌
43 I mostly apply jobs on LinkedIn. The detailed attention to look for the skills i know and if it was present in job or not was taking up a lot of time. Hence, i created an extension which does that for me.

Let me know when you release this. I'm curious to try it.
It depends on how many jobs come up which I feel I could be a good fit for. Lately I have been doing a lot of applications which require a written statement of how I meet the criteria, giving examples etc, In some cases there are 4 or 5 questions like that. If its one of those, one a day.
If there are jobs which need just a CV and a cover letter, then 2 or 3. I still tailor my CV and take time to write a good cover letter.
Personally I don't apply for anything directly via LinkedIn I go to the company site and apply through that.
In my view applications submitted is a poor metric. GOOD applications submitted is a lot better.
Does anyone know anybody that's hiring for light duty tow truck drivers
No
I'm on h1b (I-140 approved) full stack engineer with 14 years of experience yet there is a 90% rejection because most employers don't want them.
I apply about 10 every day since my tech stack is a very common one that every company uses.
Here is the breakdown.
10 applications per day in which 70% gets rejected due to no-work visa sponsors. 25% sends no responses due to being ghost jobs. That 5% offers 30% low pay and tells me to move to different state.
I'm luck I'm employed now but soon if I was let go, I'll be forced to choose this.
Does it make sense to focus only on applying to positions that offer visa sponsorship? And as a plan B - would it be worth narrowing down your technical skills to reduce competition?
May be 10-15
30+every day since 10-01-24 an interviews but I'm not hired yet,y
On average 6 per day
I submitted 3 for today
I tend to look for jobs that fit my skills and experience and that I would enjoy. My goal is to apply to around 1-2 a day but it depends on what I find
As many as I found that aligned with my background
7 Application submitted in a day
5 a day
10 min
5 to 10 a day
10-30
0 to 10+, it really depends on the jobs on the website because I only application for the jobs that match my skills. I take breaks on Saturday and Sunday though.
I have been looking for a job like this for 7 months already, so far I got 2 job interviews (one of these asked a few questions by email so I count it as an interview), and I still got nothing.
OMG- I admire you!
But it is a very low conversion. Are you sure your CV passes the ATS and reaches HR?
maybe 100 per day 80/20 (easy apply on LI / Co Career page)
around 80
0 ! I have my own business ! I leave the decision for lower positions to my HR managers,
Personally I put in between 5 - 10 a day for the past year. Not that I think it helps much as some job boards/companies penalize you for applying to too many things but 5 a day is what I've been told by recruiters and career coaches since college so that's what I'm doing.
