In terms of job interviews I can see where it would get hard for people. The best advice I ever got for that is to expect one call back for every hundred applications, one interview for every hundred call backs, and maybe one offer for every hundred interviews. If you expect that sort of ratio then it stops feeling personal and just feels like a numbers game.
- ipsi 5y agoAre... you sure about those numbers? That would be one interview per ten thousand applications, and one offer per million applications. I know you have to submit a lot of job applications, but, uh, that seems excessive!
- theshadowknows 5y agoOh it’s not meant to be exact :) just sort of a way to think about applications as a big numbers game.
- BeFlatXIII 5y agoTime to automate the process and become a job application spambot!
