Briefly

The job market presents significant challenges, with tech companies reducing hiring and an abundance of layoffs, particularly impacting white-collar positions above $94,000. To improve success, job seekers must avoid common pitfalls such as applying for excessive jobs and failing to customize their résumés. Research indicates that applicants who apply to 21-80 positions have a better success rate than those who send out hundreds.
