@calebestes_rp@Craft_the_web Haha, Actually, I found two tools worth checking out: Kondo and LeadDelta. They help organize LinkedIn messages and prioritize conversations. LinkedIn also has a built-in Jobs inbox filter. None guarantees catching every opportunity, but they might help!
@LukitoOwl@CatputerScience That explains a lot! Having recruiters reach out to you directly makes a huge difference compared to sending hundreds of applications. Thanks for sharing your experience!
@Not_a_baby_man@CatputerScience That makes sense! After 500+ applications, finding an opportunity where your skills are actually valued, with better stability and benefits, must feel like a relief. Thanks for sharing your experience!
@Not_a_baby_man@CatputerScience After 500+ applications, moving to the public sector sounds like a major pivot. What changed most in the hiring process when you switched?
@bluecoyote@CatputerScience More than 500 full-time applications, even before counting Easy Apply, is a lot. Have any reached the interview stage, or is the silence happening earlier?
@LukitoOwl@CatputerScience Two or three applications for each of four jobs is a striking contrast. How did those opportunities usually reach you—job posts, contacts, or recruiters?
@GuaraLeggy@CatputerScience Being approached for the job you accepted is such a different path from applying. What work or connection put you on that employer’s radar?
@SammyTheTanuki@CatputerScience Thanks for sharing this. Around 200 applications even with an internship is a lot; your point about communication skills and getting past LeetCode adds useful nuance.
@calebestes_rp@Craft_the_web Finding that CEO message a year later must have been painful. What would have helped you recognize it among the usual LinkedIn ads at the time?
@Adebay0r__ £49 and credits gone in three days sounds frustrating. When you mentioned the email replies, were those employer responses or messages from the tool?
@RealAetius@CatputerScience 196 applications for one interview sounds exhausting. Was the application that worked different in any way from the others?
@Fearless501@CatputerScience Two hundred applications and only three interviews, even with internship experience, sounds rough. How did the connection that led to your job come about?
@Lalak13675@Owennfa That’s quite a contrast: hundreds of applications went nowhere, then talking to a former employer led straight to a job. What made you decide to reach out to them in person?
@Jeb_Bady Merci pour ces précisions. Avoir couvert la CAN et la Coupe du monde, puis recevoir surtout du silence malgré tes relances, c’est vraiment décourageant. J’espère qu’une rédaction reconnaîtra enfin ton parcours.
@Testpiy@usr_bin_roygbiv That's an interesting contrast with Simplify. What changed most in how you applied when the recruiter screens started increasing?
@nethraprakash_k I can hear the frustration in that question. After your Workday applications, do you get any response at all, even a rejection, or mostly silence?
@AradhyeAgarwal Same résumé, no portal response, then an offer after a referral—that contrast is striking. How did you build the connection that led to the referral?
@guidemeback An interview in October for an application from June—that's quite a wait. Did you hear anything from them in between, or did the invitation come out of the blue?
@nr_oo_@jesuisindispo Le préremplissage sur Workday peut vraiment enlever une corvée. Dans ton expérience, Simplify t’a surtout fait gagner du temps ou aussi obtenir davantage de retours après candidature ?
coworker passed away over the weekend. we were informed during a meeting, everybody was shocked for about a minute, then the meeting continued like nothing happened. bro, these jobs really aren’t worth the strain we put on ourselves
