You probably don't realize it, but your job search aims for 4th place, not first.
It's one of the reasons your search is crawling, especially if you're unemployed.
And you're not alone ... almost all other job seekers are competing against you for 4th. But only 2-3 are competing for 1st place.
So aiming for 4th place gives you terrible odds of success to get an offer for the jobs you've applied to.
You'd be shocked to learn that the way you've been taught to search for jobs is what causes you to aim for 4th place. It's what most career coaches, authors, outplacement firms teach. It's based on random applications, volume, and hoping you get lucky against long odds.
How bad can it be if all these resources teach it? Well, according to reports published by 2 major job boards, this job search process gives you 1/100 of 1% chance of landing each job you apply to.

No wonder it feels like you're sending your resume into the wind ... because you are, when you apply to jobs in this way.
Good thing there's a far more effective way to apply for jobs that will help you get offers and beat unemployment much faster, because it's the way those 2-3 competitors aim for 1st place. You can learn how to do it too, and I'll show you how.
I help people solve the most difficult job search problems, including job search acceleration, getting past ATSs, ageism, remote positions, product/job function/career/industry/ geographic change, unemployment, "bouncy" recent career path, job search turnaround, seeking raise/promotion, industry in decline/consolidation, long term gaps, family leave, or other of the most challenging job search issues.
