[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Me too. I've had one interview after 200 applications since July. [/quote]

Are you serious? Is that even job hunting if unemployed? July is 150 days ago. I used to apply or reach out a minimun of ten a day. Average 15-20 a day. At begining I was reaching out to 200 people a day. I think by end I applied or reached out to 5,000 people.

Some jobs have a 1,000 applicants. Do the math. 200 is not doing much. I would job hunt 10 hours a day M-F and on weekends, only if someone responded or prep for interview.    [/quote]

DP. Reaching out to 200 people a day sounds absolutely insane and miserable. There is a lack of real jobs being posted right now, variable by field of course. You can't apply to jobs that don't exist. I applied to only about 50 over the course of 8 months and got 5 interviews and one offer.[/quote]

No it is not. I have 5,000 LinkedIn Conections. In begining reached out to 75-100 of my LinkedIN connections day, wrote a nice note that I could use again and again and just changed names and a detail or two. Then I apply all job posted that day. Then reach out to 5-10 recruiters. I also had a long list of recruitrers and industry recruiters I got from outplacement I hit up 10 a day. Then I hit up old friends and coworkers. Took me around 10-12 hours a day of job hunting for 5 months. This guy is already at 5 months.

More amazing the job I got I met a random person on line in Beligum, who recomended me to a guy in NY who knew a guy in Luxembourg who needed help who hired me for a big job remote. From there a guy in London who knew guy in Luxembourg hired me to be part of new division in the USA.

All from cold emails and linked
