Job hunting - Do you feel like there to be a daily point of diminishing return on looking for a new job?
After a few hours, my head is spinning. At this point I walk away.
Is this wrong?
I’m currently unemployed so part of me tells myself to approach it like a full-time job, another part of me feels like that won’t help

There are only so many new jobs posted in a day so I don't think it matters all that much if you're giving it a solid go regularly. If you're applying to multiple jobs each day then the quality of your applications might suffer from burnout, as well.

I find that sometimes I have to take the day off from the job search and do something productive around the house or just for myself or spend a day researching different industries. I do feel that by day 3-4 I just start being way less selective on what I apply to so def feel there’s a point of diminishing return. So I started taking a 1-2 day “break” every 2 days.

Thats exactly what I did. Don’t give up. Build the job funnel. Apply as much as possible because every interview gives you practice for that perfect job interview. In addition not to mention the confidence you develop. I applied for close to 800 posting in a span of months. I was able to explore different industries and find what I liked.
I know being unemployed can create a fear of just grabbing anything but don’t settle.

You got this!!
