Think of it like this, you only need one to stick. At least thats my mantra.

Hey, um... I think the system isn't working (for us, I mean).

Maybe pick a different field?

A lot of companies don't hire at the end of the year. Might have to wait until first quarter for the new employee budgets to kick in.

I applied almost 400 times. Starting my new job on Monday.

You are shooting to high. Lower your standards and improve your average. Works for dating too.

Took me quite a few more than that to get a full time job
3vieTheEevee
Took me 2 full years to find an engineering job out of college. Don't give up and you'll find an in soon!

Keep at it, friend! It WILL work out at one point and you will look back and tell yourself how proud you are to have kept going!

Have you tried buying your own social media company
Qrader
I'm embarrassed to say but I've only ever got turned down for a job twice. And I didn't even apply for it, they contacted me.
Qrader
For one they thought me over qualified. The second I was the runner-up. Feel bad that my life is too easy.

It might be time for a resume re-write. Write for a computer and not a person. Many places don't even have people going through until later.

Censor your personal info and drop me your resume. I might be able to help

My current job I got turned down for the job I wanted, but a different department heard about me and decided to hire me.

Good luck, never give up! I have been looking for months, submitting on average 5 a day. Keep submitting out of spite for the system.

Did 150 last month after 6 months unemployed. Got only 5 interviews but landed a job paying GBP40k more than my previous role. Stay strong!

Took me 600+ 2017.

Well for what it's worth I thoroughly enjoyed your meme. Best of luck though! It'll come!

"Tech industry" is incredibly broad so it is hard to tell if this is standard or outside the curve for what you are trying to do.
UnluckyLunkhead
Apply for jobs you don't want. At least you don't feel so bad if you don't get them.
TheProofIsInDePudding
140 applications, one interview. That one interview led to a job (though it wasn't what i was looking for, hopefully it'll help boost my cv)
florpglorp
At one point I stopped counting and just committed to applying to atleast one place every week.

After the first couple hundred and a year of unemployment you learn that even the numbers dont matter. Nothing matters it doesnt make sense.

M-maybe it's the resume?

The first time I applied to work in tech it was 5 resumes a day with cover letters for five months. I got one callback and got my job. The1/

second time I sent zero. I had three people contact me unprompted over the span of a year, poaching me due to my linkedin page. Went with 2/

the last one, just because it was the most interesting.
MyDogIsBiggerThanABanana
Yeah, im way past 100. Dec/Q4 is the worst time to be looking. Mid Jan will be better. I'm way over qualified for 80% of reqs too. Good luck
0soGrande
I applied to over 200 jobs in a 4 month period last year before I finally got something.

Be sure to ask friends or colleagues from your industry to check your resume.
damagz
I feel both of you, I'm in the same situation. Stress has me losing my hair. ?? we got this in jan
Cucumberclouds
I took a demotion to get out of my previous job. Has given me headspace and recovery time. It was a good decision
SarahDancePainter
Former recruter though not very long here - it’s not the candidates. Everything shuts down for Xmas. Lots of fiscal year ends too.
Potatokil1er
Makes it harder to get a job when over qual’d. HR sees it as a risk. Either pay your worth or risk you moving on. They hate both options
Fairemont
Yes, undersell if you get desperate for a job!
billiardsoddmanout
Tailor to fit the job, not underbelly. Similar but not the same

Program or Product- senior to director level. Nearly had a lock on a Program director job mid Feb, but the co. pivoted to layoffs... oof

Well his dog is bigger than a banana, so he’s got that going for him!

They both are, and as long as the mortgage is paid they're happy and I'm happy.

Chances are your resume is getting roundfiled by bots. Get some help in getting it bot-compliant.
Hashtagdelta
This. I started sending my resume as a basic text document and not the fancy one, started getting responses immediately
UmamiMama
As a manager, I prefer simple. Make the details in your experience count
fredh67
This is a valid thing - if you try to fancy up your CV too much, it's going to just get tossed. Keep it simple. I also need context for /
fredh67
these posts. Like, "I applied to over 100 bikini teams to be the suntan lotion applier." What are these professions that need no one?
thebogusman101
Ive got probably 40 out there for scrum master at the moment.
UmamiMama
I need to recertify my CSM
UmamiMama
Legit.. and also, use recruiters. They go straight to the recruiters of the companies

@ltturtles
NOYLL
Recruiters are how I got my last 2 jobs
UmamiMama
Same!! And lots of word of mouth, but I'm in a small industry. Everyone talks, so always stay professional
LtTurtles
That's how I got ny first job too. I'm currently on over 420 applications. The struggle is real!
bikergeek6249
nice
skipweasel
Good luck - I'm so glad I never really had to do the applications thing.
thevortexmaster
Same here. I've probably handed out 10 resumes in my life
skipweasel
The only actual application I've ever done was for a job I already had, but they had to jump through the hoops for the funding.
thevortexmaster
Hahah crazy. I got my first job at age 13 from a family friend and stayed there till I was 28 and I've been at my current job 12 years. >>>
thevortexmaster
There was a bit of limbo in between those jobs where I handed out a few. Had 3 random jobs in between
skipweasel
I've had loads of different jobs, but I've often been self-employed but never unemployed. Mostly people have just asked me to work for them.
thevortexmaster
That's pretty cool! My current I was witnessed working by someoneand 2 weeks later they scooped me.
