Am I the only person who can’t get a job?

I respect the grind and tbh I have basically given up actively applying, I just respond to recruiters now. At my peak ~ hour a day. The thing is, if every company has something obnoxious like 3 + interviews, and I average about 1.5 before flaming out, then I don’t really want to apply to 500 jobs and forget who I’m even interviewing with. Also, now that I have a FT non-wfh, I don’t really have the time to.

If you do this, automate it. I have one email address just for recruiters. I had a script run and look though my gmail inbox looking for keywords, ask the salary/rate up front form recruiters. Email me if you want the code. It is in Java.

Thanks - this would convert what is now a huge waste of time into a learning experience.

Have you considered 1) taking a vacation and doing the grind while on it, 2) buying yourself a pen and a notebook and writing down what you tend to forget?

Oh, you'll never get a job that way. Lol. Recruiters on linkedin who shoot out mass DMs are the bottom of the barrel.
