For every job posting there are 200 applicants within 24 hours. You need to only apply to new jobs early in the morning, and do ten applications a day. If a job wants you to spend two hours creating a profile on their shitty ancient job portal, skip it. Only apply to places that respect your time. Focus on jobs that ask for a pdf of your resume, cover letter, and a few random questions.
This should take you from 8am-noon. Spend the rest of the day on self-learning and building your resume/portfolio.

>>61324853>>61324998>>61325148My small biz recently was hiring on linkedin job board.We get like 400+ applicants in 2 days.But we ask them to fill out a questionnaire that takes maybe 10 minutes to answer, and 90% of them don't do it.So if you put in a bit of effort, you'll be in the top 10% of applicants.That being said, we aren't going to hire an unqualified person even if they put in more effort on the application.
