A dozen applications is not very much. Anecdotally, I've heard from a few folks that the funnel these days looks something like this: 100 applications -> 10 interviews -> 1 offer. Doesn't mean that you should be shotgunning your resume to every conceivable job (this happens a lot right now and hiring managers are overwhelmed), but it is a numbers game and you need to widen the top of the funnel.

- kstrauser 3y agoI bumped into one of the people who interviewed me for my current job, said hi, and introduced myself to remind him who I am. We had a nice chat and he begged my forgiveness for not recognizing me at first: he’d personally interviewed 32 other people for the spot.
