Hate how this has become the job market. I finished my degree in July but was only able to find a job in November. Might not sound like a lot but it took almost 50 manual job applications, all with varying experiences.

I couldn't imagine being a manager having to sift through so much garbage just to find a candidate that's worth their salt.




Roughly 15 years ago when I entered the job market, I spammed my resume to 36 roles within a single company so 50 doesn’t sound too bad.

It was a Fortune 10 company so plenty of roles and I eventually got in.


I graduated from a second tier uni in 2001. It was hell finding my first real job (more than two years). I had to move across the country to find it. After that, no one ever cared about my shit uni again!
