I’ve applied to between 550-600 jobs since December and hardly heard anything back. The past two weeks recruiters started reaching out to me and at this point I’m at least having early round discussions with 5 companies. They’re mostly smaller and somewhere in the health care space, but I went from virtually 0 to having something. Obviously it’s early stages so you can’t count on anything, but it looks like things may be picking up again.
not quite, I did every generally recommended approach, applying on their websites, messaging their recruiters, custom hand typed cover letters. In the past I never even needed to really apply because I was fielding so many calls from recruiters. This year’s been a whole lotta nothing
how many hours per day on avg? Just curious
I tend to go in bursts, so I might skip some days since there wouldn’t be much new and then crank out a few dozen or something. But the avg would be ~600/7mths
