Job Search Myth #1: The "Spray & Pray" Trap

Have you ever found yourself applying to dozens of roles in a single sitting? You’re not alone.

But here's the hard truth:

Myth #1: If I apply to enough jobs, something will stick.

The reality? Hiring managers can spot a generic application from a mile away. Submitting 50 untailored applications won’t get you further than submitting 5 highly customized ones.

Here’s what works:

• Target roles that align with your values and strengths

• Tailor your resume using the job description

• Use keywords that match the posting

• Highlight relevant accomplishments

If you're not getting interviews, it might be time to rethink your strategy.
