I just skipped the rest of the steps after reading (1) and completely stopped reading after (6).
This is poor advice and it is no wonder you had to send 450+ applications and I think people reading this would want to do this with less steps and less than 450+ applications.
- qumefox 1y agoThis is not poor advice. It's what's required to land a job in this market if you've already exhausted your network. If you can land a position using your network, yeah, that's definitely going to be a better/easier route, but when your network is also unemployed/not hiring at all/involve fields you're not suitable for, spray and pray is the only way you're going to get something now days. Though i'm hesitant to back the AI usage, and personally haven't resorted to it.
