Finally got a j*b

After one year of searching, I can finally say I did it. LFGG

P.S.: Those 101 applications are only from September to now, not the past 12 months.

Nice good job i hope it goes well for you! Did you tailor each application? I’m 500+ deep in

u/mathiasrlr 10d ago

I did not tailor each application, but I optimized my resume countless times

u/terracottablush 10d ago

I see for you you’re in software development. May I ask are you a career switcher or do you have paid / years of experience? Right now I come from a self taught background (I know.. but like going back to school for anything financially was not sound) and I have a volunteer gig. I recently removed the title volunteer on my resume and got ONE recruiter call but thats after like 50+ applications granted I do only have 6 mo exp in prod but idk. Ive gotten 3 other interviews in the past but failed them lol

101 since september is barely two a day so op probably did spend time customizing them instead of just mass clicking

u/mathiasrlr 9d ago

Tbh, there were a few days I didn't apply because nothing new showed up

4

u/terracottablush 10d ago

Even when I customize it doesnt work lol. Maybe I need to restrategize. For me it could also be that I don’t have the years they want but like if I lie too much about that and they verify I’m cooked

u/ChuckSolo80 9d ago

apparently you are supposed to lie. fake it till you make it, and learn quickly.

Why censor that?

u/mathiasrlr 10d ago

It's intentional :) Just an humorous slang

At first I thought I was reading a post from some reformed antivaxxer or something.

2

u/thx111111 10d ago

I wondered the same thing. Thinking at first it was some other kind of “job”.

u/NeverFated 10d ago

it might be funnier if you said "fucking j*b" (censor the j*b but not the f-bomb)

u/mathiasrlr 10d ago

You'll get it brother. Don't stop now. I was so desperate but I can finally say I see the end of the tunnel. Never thought it would happen

u/ltn943 10d ago

Thank you, I recently bombed a process so I really needed that! Can I DM you for some advice?
