No-Caterpillar-2729's journey

I recently took some time to review my job applications and realized I had a significant number of companies that never got back to me. It's frustrating because they haven't rejected me or invited me for interviews; they just left me hanging for months. To manage this chaos, I started using eztrackr to keep track of my applications. It was eye-opening to see how many jobs I had forgotten I even applied for. This experience has taught me that one of the toughest aspects of job hunting isn't the interviews or the rejections, but rather the endless waiting and uncertainty. You send out applications, move on to the next opportunity, and then a few weeks later, you can't even remember if a company has ghosted you or if they're still in the decision-making process. I wonder if others also end up with a large stack of pending applications like I do.
