Especially with the rise of “ghost postings” so quantity over quality is greater than ever these days

    and after more than forty applications in six months

    That’s not “spray and pray”

    I just started a job search yesterday and I’m already at about 40 applications. My job search before this one I went from search start to offer in ~2 weeks w/ ~200 applications in, all manual. Though my industry is IT, so I do have a bit of flexibility as far as roles go, but still 6 applications/month is a bit on the low side IMO

      Yeah usually I send like 40 or applications each week. I imagine if you are in a specific field then it’s a lot harder to do the spray and pray method tho

      It really depends what job it is.
