Yes.
I applied 4-5 days/week for 16 months and finally got a fully remote job, with a salary commensurate with what I had before.
The job I applied for was alive for less than 24 hours. They got 1,000 resumes. I just happened to be first and early.
I applied and interviewed at FAANG too.. they said they got 1,000+ resumes on day one alone, and they were screening 20 candidates for the one role.
If you've sent 500 resumes.. that's not enough / "a lot" nowadays.
- EGreg 2y ago“First”? Or “early”? It seems to me that most job posters don’t even look at resumes anymore. I tested this by having logs for when the resume link is hit
- browningstreet 2y agoI don’t doubt it. But most of my successful applications were either via indeed or submitted directly as uploaded PDFs to FAANG corp recruiting websites. For that reason I wasn’t tracking external PDF links. Those were getting me nothing…
