Reply to comment by moondog548 in [OC] My partner’s 2 months job hunt as a Product Manager (UK, 4 years xp) by fryd_rice_all_rise

I know right. I am currently on the job hunt with 2 years experience and I have submitted over 150 applications and only a handful of first interviews. Mostly no responses or rejections.

Well the thing is, applying is way way easier nowadays. Op here sends an average of over 1.5 applications out every day for two months and has an interview every other day. It's very easy to apply online, but the downside is they get hundreds of applicants for every position. No way you're not going to very very quickly drop some people.

Just curious, are you applying for roles you are underqualified for? Maybe it’s just different in the US than it is here but I have applied for 3 jobs and got an offer at 2 out of 3, and most of my friends from uni have not applied to more than 5 jobs while finding one rather quickly. The only person I know who is not getting offers is the guy who spent 10y on his BSc degree and still thinks he will get an amazing job. Either way GL with the job hunt
