I guess the answer is only one, if it works out. But realistically I think it's good to apply to as many as you can handle. I've seen people brag about applying to a thousand jobs, and I honestly wonder how slipshod that process must be. Probably better to think quality, not quantity.

I agree. I always see posts like “I’ve applied to over 1,000 jobs this year and only had 10 interviews.” I don’t know if any humans exist that are well-qualified for 1,000 different jobs. My guess is people get calls back for jobs they are well-suited for. No point in applying to ones where you are clearly not. (Of course, some can be a stretch or step up, which is a good thing, but you can’t expect to hear from all or most of those).

A lot

Minimally, 20 applications per day!

Had such a great interview with an agency this morning. Then I look at their Glassdoor and it's horrible reviews- like the opposite of what the recruiter and group account director told me.

What do I do? I have a really good gut feeling about this but now scared from Glassdoor. UGH finding a job is so hard.

I have been on a planned personal sabbatical this year pursuing personal interests. Now I’m ready to go back to work.

My goal is to find a similar position to the one I’m working now and add 20-30% to my income, the high range would meet

Does anyone think it’s a good idea to beg for a job and put your personal life out there to get sympathy, because that is what I am seeing every day on LinkedIn and then the recruiters and everybody will comment and send the jobs and they will end up with a job or interview the next day.
I’m getting close to the point of doing that because it seems like it is working.
