Feeling the pressure of desiring and needing a job will turn your head inside out… most likely to the point of merely exploding, but mediocrity in job applications may be the reason you are still running your resume drop-offs. If your approach to applying for jobs is simply ‘apply everywhere and anywhere’, then it may be best to rethink your approach to the world of employment. Employment is not a numbers game.
Yes, you must apply for jobs to actually be in the running to receive one, but sending out a generalised resume to dozens of employers is a blanket-job, and may have you in hot water. Job searching is a time consuming endeavour, and so it should be. Every employer is different, individual and independent, with their own morals and values. Each employer seeks employees with different qualities and skills, so throwing around a generic ‘I can do it all’, is almost robotic.
