JOB SEARCHING AS OF 5/21/16
Days: 55
Weeks: 8
Jobs Applied: 60
Here is the breakdown of the 60 jobs I applied to:
No Response/job still posted: 22
No Response/job post removed: 19
Response - Rejection/job post removed: 8
Response - Rejection/job still posted: 4
Interviewed/no response/job still posted: 4
Interviewed/no response/job post removed: 2
Interviewed/rejected/job still posted: 1
Here is the breakdown in percentages:
12% Granted an interview rate
20% Response rate - rejected - no interview
32% No response rate - job post removed
36% No response rate - job still posted
I am still unpleasantly surprised with the breakdown of the stats for the interviews:
57% Interviewed no response - job still posted
29% Interviewed no response - job not posted
14% Interviewed response - rejected
Of the 7 interviews I have had, only 1 employer has gotten back to me with a response (rejected), and that is because I emailed them and reapplied for the job and within 10 minutes I had a rejection email. Awesome!
I determined before my job search that I would need at least 300 jobs applied to get 10 interviews to get 1 job offer. At the rate I am going I need only 3 more interviews to possibly get a job offer. But then again I do live in the crappy rust belt...and employers here are insanely picky when it comes to choosing the perfect purple unicorn.
