Applied to 130 jobs in 2 months. Got 6 replies. I genuinely do not know what I am doing wrong.

Applications

Isn’t there something that i can do automate all this

Not mass applying. Actually reading each JD. Customizing my resume. Writing cover letters that reference specific things about the company.

130 applications. 6 replies. 2 interviews. 0 offers.

The process of applying itself takes so much time that I have no energy left to actually prepare for the interviews I do get.

Something about this whole system feels completely broken.

How are people actually getting traction right now?
