I wrote an easy apply bot that speeds up my applications ten fold by removing a bunch of the tedium.

I applied to like 500 jobs yesterday.

Haven't heard back from a single one but I'm going to spend the next 20 days and apply for 10,000 jobs to give the job market a fair shake before trying something else.

Feel free to use/submit P.R.s/help out.

Spamming applications doesn't work. You usually need some sort of connection to the company even if its tenuous.

Used to not be the case!

I guess those of us with no connections anymore are out of luck.
