Man, this job market is rough. I've put in somewhere in the range of 200-250 applications, and I've only heard from back from less than 10, that's either for a preliminary interview or even just a rejection.

LinkedIn can work wonders.....just hit the "Looking" button and it literally applies for you....gotta love AI..I know how you feel. I did a switch about 10 months ago and it took 300+ applications to find a job . Good luck and just keep going!
Hell, at this point anything. I was in IT, which is what I’d prefer to keep doing, but I’ve applied to construction, customer service, and data science (what I’m currently studying) as well. Even restaurant work is hard to find right now due to the state of the film industry and so many people from that trying to find jobs too.What are you looking for?
