Forget Perfection, Prioritize Speed: The 'Spray and Pray' Strategy That Finally This Job Seeker Landed An IT Job

The anonymous job seeker's journey turned around with a single piece of advice from a recruiter on the subreddit: companies often shortlist candidates from the first five to 10 resumes they see. Armed with the insight, they transformed their job application strategy using a variation on former Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META) COO Sheryl Sandberg's advice of "done is better than perfect," and opted to be speed-centric over quality-focused.

I couldn't find a job for 8 months. A GoFundMe and friend loans helped me stay afloat.

This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Michele Wilke, a 63-year-old job seeker in Chicago. It has been edited for length and clarity. Over the past eight months, I applied to dozens of jobs and landed some interviews, but I struggled to find work. To stay afloat, I relied on loans from well-off friends and launched a GoFundMe to help me pay my rent.

Getting laid off from tech broke my heart. A job seeker support group helped me bounce back with a senior Fortune 100 role.

In May 2023, I got called into a meeting with a HR representative who told me I was losing my data scientist job at the company where I'd worked since February 2022. I couldn't stop myself from crying. I was five months pregnant, so felt I couldn't immediately get back into the job market. When I started looking for jobs again a month after giving birth, joining a job-seekers' group helped me feel supported.

This former VP of product has applied to more than 1,500 jobs. He says it's hard to see the toll it has taken on his kids.

I joined my last company as a director of product, and within a couple of months, I had been promoted to the VP of product. Then, a couple of months later, that company almost went out of business. They had to downsize and kept me and one other person on. I was very thankful, as they laid off the rest of the company and tried to restart. We really gave it the old college try, but we weren't getting the traction we needed.

He wakes up at 3 a.m. to apply for jobs, but after 11 months, he's still looking for work

I often wake up around 3 a.m. with my mind racing - thinking about which roles to apply to or what job search strategy to try next. Instead of trying to fall back asleep, I usually get up and start working on my job search, which includes sending out applications or post-interview thank you letters. Around 6 a.m., I typically might make breakfast, shower, and then start planning out what I want to accomplish that day. It's become a sort of routine.

Why You Put Yourself Down When Waiting After a Job Interview

You feel like you've been on a roller coaster, constantly applying for jobs and searching for the perfect one. You've sent an updated resume and cover letter. You answered all the questions.

After the tenth time of checking your email, the uncertainty in your head starts to take over, leading you to question yourself: "Why did I even try? I'm not as good as the other applicants.

The 1 thing job applicants should do after an interview to stand out

Sending a thank-you note can help you stand out, as few people do it, said recruiter Laura Lazewski. Expressing appreciation is also a way to correct missteps and show you're resourceful, she said. A well-crafted thank-you can also pay off down the road. Of the thousands of job candidates I've interviewed over my 11-year recruiting career, only a fraction have sent a thank-you note to me or the hiring manager afterward. That's a mistake.
