I recently completed an intense job search that spanned three weeks, during which I submitted around 1,500 applications. My approach was quite aggressive, with 750 applications sent through company ATS systems and another 750 using Easy Apply or one-click applications. Throughout this process, I managed to secure 28 interviews, although I stopped responding to additional interview opportunities once I accepted my offers. I'm 30 years old and have a background in restaurant management, including senior management roles. My goal was to transition into manufacturing, quality assurance, and supply chain operations. I'm pleased to share that I landed two management jobs, each paying $75K, resulting in a combined annual salary of $150K. The positions I accepted are as a 3rd shift Warehouse Supervisor at a manufacturing company and a 1st shift Quality Assurance Supervisor at a food manufacturing company. Interestingly, one company initially hired me for a $65K production control role but unexpectedly promoted me to Warehouse Supervisor on my first day, which was a pleasant surprise. Currently, I'm juggling both positions. While I don't intend to keep up with two full-time jobs forever, I'm taking advantage of the experience in both fields. My long-term ambition is to transition into supply chain management or a QA manager role, aiming for a salary of $120K to $150K in the future. I'm contemplating how long I should maintain this dual role to gain valuable experience and whether I should include both positions on my résumé.
