  1. 1

    I'm currently in the job search phase and I've been reflecting on my application strategy. I've submitted a significant number of applications, but I'm starting to question my approach since I'm not getting many callbacks for interviews or screenings. I've heard that job hunting is a numbers game, but I wonder if there's a point where I should reconsider my tactics. I've been thinking about what a reasonable threshold for interview callbacks might be. For instance, if I'm applying to a hundred jobs and only getting a couple of interviews, does that mean I need to rethink my resume or how I'm presenting myself? From what I've gathered, the response rate can vary greatly depending on factors like the industry and my level of experience. Some people suggest that a 10% interview rate is a good benchmark, while others say it might be acceptable for new graduates to have a lower rate. I'm at a crossroads and trying to determine if I should keep pushing forward with my current strategy or make some changes. It's a tough decision, but I know that getting to the interview stage is crucial for landing a job.
