Reply to comment by up_N2_no_good in LPT: If you can, Don't apply for a job that is complaining about "severe employee shortages" or the like. There's a reason they can't retain employees, and you don't want to have to find out what that reason is. by Froggy_hop

Also worth note: job boards tend to be "a market for lemons". The best companies fill their positions quickly because so many people want to work with them. So a large proportion of postings that accept less qualified candidates are workplaces with a lot of churn.

Not to say it's impossible to land an excellent position with growth potential, but rather that it takes a lot more effort to avoid the bad workplaces. Networking helps you sidestep those issues, but is definitely a lot harder than spamming resumes.
