I just hit 700 applications and managed to secure 7 interviews in my job search. It's been a long and challenging journey, and I'm curious to know how everyone else is faring in their own searches. I've seen some people with impressive numbers, like close to 100 interviews but facing all rejections, while others are getting offers after fewer applications. Despite having over 8 years of experience and feeling confident during interviews, I find myself battling more against automated systems than actual people. It's frustrating to see so many applications go unanswered or receive AI-generated rejections. I'm determined to keep pushing through this process.
