I want you to know you are not alone... I have been doing the same thing with the same results for the last 6 months.
I have applied to over 168 jobs (I used LinkedIn and it tracks them all). Of that I got about 25 recruiter interviews (level 0), about 15 Hiring Manager interviews (level 1) and about 10 second stage calls or on-site (level 2).
None have yet panned out or even look close...
It's hard out there right now - I do not know why precisely. I have many guesses.
But the important thing is to keep applying. Certainly, if you stop, nothing will happen further on its own. Knowing your not alone hopefully helps you do that.
In the future I hope we can do something smarter with this information.
- magic_beans 10y agoI applied for jobs this year and last year. Last year I applied to 323. I got 5 screening calls, 2 interviews, and 0 job offers. This year I applied to 26 jobs. I got 11 screening calls, 3 interviews, and 1 job offer. I've learned that the trick is quality over quantity.
