I'm curious: when you say you've 'been applying constantly', how many jobs have you applied for? Assuming the number of available roles isn't a limiting factor

I'm curious: when you say you've 'been applying constantly', how many jobs have you applied for?
Assuming the number of available roles isn't a limiting factor, you probably applied for ~1000+ jobs in that time. (1 job per hour * 40 hours/week * 4.3 weeks per month * 7 months)
Is that right? If so, where have you had drop off in your funnel? Are you getting dropped before or after the recruiter screening call?
If after, then the problem may not be your CV.
- imadkhan 3y agoI'm not even getting an initial screening call. I know this points to it being the resume but I already paid for 3 separate resume reviews, so I'm hoping its just the market right now
- rahimnathwani 3y agoIf you've applied to 1000 jobs and gotten only one screening call, I suggest you take seriously what's in this comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36901965 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36901965
- jacknews 3y agoThat seems unrealistic unless you're just scattering applicaitons. By the time you've filtered out suitable jobs, researched the company a little, written a cover letter, customized your CV, gone through their application process/questions, sometimes even a test, you're looking at 3-4 a day quality applications at most.
