    If you’re sending out 1500 a week you have no identifiable skill set beyond existing. 1500 jobs that are relevant to 1 individual aren’t being posted every week.

      Right this is what frustrates me there literally aren’t that many jobs to apply for unless you’re applying to literally every cashier job around you. And for people in small towns even that option doesn’t exist. Even 10 years ago people would send me links to jobs that were obvious scams on Indeed and they’d say “see! There ARE jobs!”

        Pretty sure that they would counter, that if you’re not willing to relocate to literally anywhere at no notice and at your own expense you don’t really want to work. 1500 per week is simply not possible unless you’re looking nationally if not internationally depending on the industry.

          That’s true if you’re living at your parents house and not in a serious relationship, the world is your oyster. But if that’s the case you’re probably looking for entry level work and good luck paying rent on that salary.

      I wasn’t even reading job descriptions last time. I just indiscriminately applied to everything and only read about the positions that replied back with a maybe. If they don’t allow the LinkedIn auto-apply, then I’m not filling out a form on their special unique website.

      This is their problem, not mine.

      I generally agree but what that said is 100 per week.

      not much better but it’s a bit of a shame that a whole thread with much attention did not notice and just copied from the first comment

        Yea I noticed that I misread a little while ago but left it. The comment is still accurate, 1500 a week is way too many.
