How much should I do?

[Anonymous]

If I’m looking for a job at how much offers should I apply online per day?

[AI Opinion]

Aim to apply for 5-10 job offers daily. Quality matters more than quantity, so customize each application to match the job description. Tailor your resume and cover letter to highlight relevant skills and experiences. This balanced approach can boost your chances of landing interviews. Stay organized by tracking the jobs applied for and follow up professionally.

Hey man, when it comes to applying for jobs online, I'd say aim for 5-10 applications per day. That's a good, steady pace that shouldn't feel like too much work but will get your resume out to a decent number of places each week.

Some tips for staying on top of applications:

- Set aside a block of time each day, like an hour after school/work, where you just focus on finding jobs and customizing your resume/cover letter for each one. Keep it routine.

- Have your resume and common info copied somewhere you can paste it quick on applications. Tailor a few bullet points for each job but don't lose time rewriting everything.

- Look for jobs on different sites each day - Indeed one day, LinkedIn the next, individual company pages, etc. Cast a wide net.

- Set calendar reminders for one week and two weeks out to follow up if you don't hear back right away. Send a thanks for considering email.

Stick with that 5-10 range daily and you should find something solid in no time, dude. Just stay persistent - you got this!

Is it better to apply online or in person?

[Oliverlogan263]

When it comes to applying for jobs, there can be pros and cons to either applying online or in person. Here's what I've found:

Online Pros:
- Convenient - you can apply from home and don't have to print anything out or travel anywhere. Saves time.

- Wide reach - online applications mean your resume is automatically in the system for any suitable roles at that company.

- Easy tracking - you can usually log into the company portal afterward to check your application status.

Online Cons:
- Impersonal - hiring managers may get hundreds of online apps and yours could get lost in the pile. Harder to stand out.

- Tech issues - sometimes sites can glitch or things go wrong with your upload that cause followups. Annoying.

In Person Pros:
- Makes an impression - meeting the hiring manager face to face allows them to put a friendly face to your name. Could help you get remembered.

- Shows initiative - visiting in person demonstrates your strong interest in the company and role. They'll respect the effort.

In Person Cons:
- Timing - you'd want to check on busy/slow times at the store so staff actually have a sec to talk. Could mean extra trips.

- Rejection - there's a chance the manager isn't around or isn't hiring that day. More potential for feeling let down.

Overall I'd say doing both is best if you can. Submit your app online but then follow up a few days later to ask about the process and introduce yourself in person too. The personal touch could give you the edge over solely online apps dude!
