I disagree. If the market is stacked against you and it takes even 30 attempts to get a job through the usual job seeking process, then I question whether you're truly going to be happy and satisfied with whatever you happen to get offered after months of searching. If you're lucky, maybe. But the most probable reality for most people is that you'll be an expendable employee with zero leverage in a position that doesn't suit you. Not to mention the probability of getting serious burnout from getting rejected and ignored hundreds of times. A fair, healthy job market does not look like this.
If something is not working out, change up your approach. The first obvious step is to try networking instead of applying. Perhaps start something on your own, becoming a B2B service provider rather than an employee. Or try to out-compete the companies which have rejected you. Be a stalwart, not a pushover.
