From March to August I applied to 96 jobs and kept an Excel sheet for me to see the results of my search. I received 15 flat out rejections, 5 interviews (2 of which completely ghosted me after the 2nd stage), got offers for 2, and 76 jobs with absolutely 0 response. I ended up choosing the job that I knew the least about, in an industry completely new to me, with a tech company that placed a huge emphasis on culture and company fit. I know how crappy it is and how demoralizing the job search can be - I just wanted to post this to say to those looking that it will come, eventually, and in my case it has been totally worth the lonnnnngggg and extremely frustrating wait. If anyone wants someone to take a look at a cover letter or resume, a 2nd set of eyes, or anything, feel free to DM me. It is an absolute grind but it will work out y'all, try not to get to down on yourself as hard as it is.
