Hello everyone,

Quoting a line from this user's blog post.

"apply for nearly 200 jobs a week"

Be careful with this one; Make sure you get the proper information for the position you are applying for and familiarize your self with the company. If you are selected for a phone interview you can expect questions such as "Why do you want to work for this company?", 'Why do you want this position?"

Some places call for interviews 3 or 4 weeks after the job was listed, by then you would have applied for 800 jobs?

IMHO opinion 200 jobs a week is a bit too much, I would suggest maybe 3-7 jobs per day depending on what is listed, your skills and the requirements of the job.

Anyways, check out the blog, is a good read and there is some good advise.

Good luck to everyone.
