I know you're not supposed to "spray and pray" when applying for jobs but I find it therapeutic to spam those apply buttons. Also job ads have become so long that I apply and only read them if I'm accepted for an interview.

Got an answer from one company that they rejected me because they're "looking for a long-term collaboration and they are worried about my tenure.". My good people it's not my fault I've been laid off twice in the past two years.

@jsframework9000 know the feel

Thing with this is if you're mostly happy where you are and just casually taking a peek now and then, that's all good but when one is between work for whatever reason, you probably can't stuff around waiting two weeks to maybe hear back from someone

I got laid off just before the pandemic started, so obviously to even get an interview during all that was quite tough. Eventually I wrote a bot that went and applied for anything with the following keywords on the 4 biggest job sites. Made it configurable so I could add new skills

Java

Junior Java Developer

C#

.NET

One place actually reached out to check if I knew what I was doing cause I'd applied to their job on multiple sites

@TheBeardedOne
Answer that company that your bot, that you've written in a few minutes, actually applied, not you =D

@scor legit thought of doing the same thing just because HR can suck a mile of dicks.
