[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am surprised at the low numbers of applications for some people. When I got laid off- I would apply to whatever seemed interesting on LinkedIn and other sites. Like- 20 to 30 per day. I got 30 interviews doing that. I had 5 offers within 3 weeks of being laid off.[/quote]

Where are you in your career? I am guessing junior to mid-level with numbers like that. The higher you get, the more the number of openings dwindle. [/quote]

Yes, only so many managerial jobs and leadership roles to go around.  The higher you go, the more competitive.  [/quote]

OP here.  Also I assume the sense of urgency varies depending on your financial situation: if your spouse makes a good income or you have extended family offering to support you, you can take you time and be choosier about applications.  I was applying while I had a job I actually really liked in a lot of ways so I only applied to places I thought I’d like better.  Also, I didn’t have much time for applications between my real job and parenting.[/quote]
