Maybe a bit tough on sales? 😅 But we were raised right, weren't we? 😉

They're trying to understand what it would be like to go to lunch with you on a Tuesday.

Because, well, they will end up going to lunch with you on a Tuesday.

So keep the response relevant to the position if you can. Or at least generally legal.

It's probably not the best time to mention your underground wrestling league.

When?

During a job interview, when the hiring manager asks, "What do you do for fun?"

I may have used this a few times during the pandemic...

It takes three to five interviews to get an offer. It takes 2 or 3 offers to get a job you actually want, a job that will be worth the wait and effort.

15 x 4 x 2 = 120 applications.

That's 116 rejections before you get a job. But remember, each rejection is a step closer.

Here's the math behind why it takes forever to get a job using a job board.

Have you ever had a job that made you dread Sunday nights because they led to the dreaded Monday morning? I DID!

Hi, I'm Chris Kolmar, one of the co-founders of Zippia. I'm personally committed to ensuring that no one else has to go through what I did.

Applying for jobs is like getting punched in the face. It's just rejection after rejection. 🥲

No matter how qualified you think you are for any one job, your odds of getting an interview are 5 to 10%.

That means if you apply for 100 jobs, you would get 90 to 95 rejections.

[Zippia @ZippiaInc]

The way the math works, you need to submit 10 to 20 applications to get an interview.

3 to 5 interviews for an off.

2 offers for a job.

15 * 4 * 2 = 120 applications for a job.

It's a grind and not particularly fun, but you need to keep applying for jobs.

[Zippia @ZippiaInc]

Keep applying for jobs.

You got a job before, you can get one again.

Just keep applying.

If you're not getting a job through a referral, expect to send out 100+ applications.
