Simple question - how many jobs applied to per day is a good number to hit in this terrible job market?

My plan is quality over quantity. If you’re just spraying out 10 a day with no tailoring, it won’t matter. Hit 3–5 good ones, and use the rest of your time finding people to message. That's what I did and found a job within 2 months of good high quality job hunting.

Nice, yea I like this approach, thanks!

I would think you want to shoot for at least 10. If you can get to 15, you better your odds.

It really depends on your industry and what's available. I have been applying to 5-10 a day for the last two weeks. No interview yet.

I don't know if there's a magic number, but I do as many as possible. Since I'm unemployed right now, I'm pretty much applying from sunup to sundown. I shoot for about 30 quality applications per day. I can move anywhere in the country, so I have a lot more opportunities than the average and I'm trying to maximize my time instead of just playing video games all day.

I don’t think it’s a numbers game it’s more about if you’re a good fit for the job and the job fits what you’re looking for.

Thanks for the tips. I've been trying to hit 5 a day, some days more, some days less.

I put in 5-10 a day for 6 months before finding a job I didn't want but had to take

I think 10 jobs is the ideal number and it should be done 5 days a week. If you have a hard time finding a job, do volunteer work to build experience

I look forward jobs that I think would be a good fit for me. Then I apply to them. I don't even think about how many. Just do your research!
