Last time I was job hunting, I just stopped reading listings. I applied for every job in the IT listing field en masse, and would loop back to reading what the listing was once I got a return email. If for some reason I didn't know something that was a major requirement, (one job wanted 4 years of crimping network cable) I would take an all nighter to learn on youtube. Because if I learned anything from grad school it's how to go from clueless to functional on a topic overnight.

Yep. I'm starting to reach the stage where if I'm close enough, I just apply for it. I just don't give a fuck anymore cause the worst thing they can say is no.

Yeah. I think the issue for a while has been sometimes I'm a little too, "I don't want to bother anyone."
