That goes for almost everything, these days.
Job-hunting is a brutal, humiliating slog, because of the thousands of junk CVs even the most obscure job posting gets.
Selling high-quality stuff (software, hardware, widgets, literature, etc.) is a nightmare, because you have to tread water above the deluge of junk.
It's really depressing.

Having been on the hiring end, I can assure you that it is not true that even the most obscure posting gets thousands of applicants. Sometimes you put out a job and get very few bites. So it depends, as always, on the specifics of the posting (what industry, where it is, etc).
- ChrisMarshallNY 1y agoGood point. I was really referring to IT industry openings. I will say that companies use the tsunami of junk, as justification for the nastiness of the interview process.
