If you get every job you ask for maybe you are aiming too low.

  Or maybe he or she just chooses well and is that good.

    Maybe, it really would require a lot of research to determine if one of the two purposed situations are correct. I wrote my comment to inspire people to look at jobs they normally wouldn't, because I believe applying for a wide range of jobs is a good strategy for learning about the labor market.

  That's an interesting argument. I am just starting out as a fresh grad. I applied to three places and got into all three. I did pretty much the same things when trying to land up internships. Maybe, I should try being more ambitious.

    Meanwhile I applied to 40-50, did interviews for 20 odd companies, 8 onsites and got only 2 offers. It doesn’t matter as long as the company you got into was good lol (it wasn’t like that for me)

  My success rate is also quite high. After being at one company way too long, I started aiming for jobs over the past 10 years where I wasn’t completely qualified, focusing on learning over money - even though the salary bumps were nice. The company is getting a steal and I’m learning. I have one more aggressive jump I can do in the next 3 years before I top out in my market without going into management.
