I've been actively applying to jobs lately, dedicating about two hours each day to the process. However, I've started to realize that I might need to reassess my approach. A friend suggested that instead of just applying to every role, I should focus on filtering opportunities that truly match my skills and location. This advice makes sense since I’ve noticed that many of the positions I applied for weren't a good fit. By narrowing down my search criteria, I hope to reduce the number of applications I send out but increase my chances of getting responses. The job market is tough right now, but I'm determined to find a role that aligns with my expertise.
