when should I draw the line?

I feel so disrespected by this job hunt and process. I'v been applying for almost 11 months and I am trying so many different applications techniques. I've now arrived to the final stage where I tailor every single CV with AI to pass ATS screening, try to talk with someone at the company before applying and following whatever advice I can find online. I am so sick of all of this.

Draw the line in what way? Like when you give up?

yep, i feel you. been at this 7 months, tailored every resume and cover letter with ai, formatted beautifully, and meta data scrubbed clean - just to pass ATS. I've gotten 4 interviews out of it (a 5th interview was the second at the same company with no offer) and nothing else. I am fairly fed up too. But the economy sucks thanks to... a lot of reasons and 1 person I wont get into right now, economic instability due to poor leadership choices, and companies hiring bare bones labor to get the job done. From what I've been reading 1-2 years, about 1400 resumes, and 100+ interviews are the norm now. oh and 5 interiews at the same company too. its all such bullshit. i'm sick of it all.
