You sent 30 resumes and got 5 interviews! That's an AMAZING rate.
I personally sent a couple of hundreds (some personalized, some bulk shotgun). Don't give up, and don't be discouraged by the stories of "rock-stars" you read about here in HN, keep sending and keep interviewing every day, all day.
- danbolt 10y agoWhen applying for positions, I often decide that there's a 5% chance of being hired from a single application, and try to estimate how many resumes I need to send before I have a 95% chance of receiving an offer. The clear deadline helps with time budgeting, and helps me focus on avoiding making anxious spammy applications.
