Feels like bragging ... but mine went incredibly well. Wrote 4 initiative applications. This is in Germany and without any job experience outside of academia.

Feels like bragging ... but mine went incredibly well. Wrote 4 initiative applications. This is in Germany and without any job experience outside of academia. One quickly came back telling me that they did not do what I was applying for at the location I was applying at. Would I be willing to move for the job? No. One invited me for interviews which I messed up. One offered me a job after a first interview. Then I stumbled upon a perfect match job description. Applied, went through 4 rounds of interviews and got the job. So 2.5 out of 4 applications.
