I’m in uni, i haven’t had much luck with applications so far. I know that most people actually get places by having stuff to show off e.g projects, clubs and GOOD GRADES. My grades are “mid,” and I’ve had no time for clubs and projects (engineering student, supporting family, poor mental health)
Spam applying for places feels like it will do more harm than good. Am I right to feel that? Or completely wrong? One argument against might be that no human is going to see the application most of the time, so it really is a persistence game
I graduated last year and have been applying to jobs manually. I did very well academically and have done multiple projects to put on my resume. Still getting nothing. Nothing seems to actually matter anymore. I had a discussion with a friend of a friend who is a manager in a different industry. She says she doesn’t even see actual applications anymore, she just receives garbage AI summaries, and most people who apply just get filtered out immediately. So honestly, yeah, just go blast companies with spam applications, and hope their AI randomly decides that your resume is good. Or try your luck doing it manually and hope the company doesn’t have a shitty AI filter.
