You hear of the hundreds of applications people are doing but what you don't hear is how many interviews are people doing. I feel like I'm doing ok getting an interview but I don't seem to be getting any offers. How many interviews are people doing before getting an offer?

I've submitted several hundred applications over the past almost 7 months, have had 4 interviews in that time, and a handful of recruiter calls. I've been fortunate enough to land interviews at Microsoft and Google, so I know the value is there, but interviews don't pay the bills.

I can't speak for everyone, but on the hiring side, my goal is to interview 3-5 candidates, then make a decision. If we don't get anyone that works, we go back and re-evaluate the posting to make sure it's getting at what we need, and work with the recruiters on specific feedback before doing another round.

There are other roles I've been on the hiring panel for, where the leader is looking for a purple unicorn, and has interviewed 20+ people.

Quick question.
I was a contractor for a big company and they just let me know that my last day is December 30th. I got this position thanks to a recruiting company that has been great and gives me benefits.
Should I:
- Continue working with the recruiting company, hoping that they will find another position for me? (as they told me they will, and when they applied me I started working with my current company within 2 weeks)
- Work with the recruiter + apply for jobs on my own?
