One general maxim I've heard is that for every 50+ cold applications (ie - non-recruiter or internal contact) you send off... you'll get one interview out of it

Not a job. Just an interview.
Seems pretty accurate in my experience - which is why I almost always aim to use recruiters.
- brobinson 10y agoThis jives with my experience last year: I applied to over 100 jobs (kept track in a spreadsheet), about 10 of them replied, interviewed with 2 of them, passed both, got an offer from one of them, rejected/renegotiated it and ultimate accepted it.
