Saturday

I started at 8 AM on Saturday and didn't stop until Sunday night. That's about 32 hours with almost no breaks. Last week, I had reached the final round for my dream job. I did three interviews, a skills assessment, and even had coffee with the team lead. They told me I was a "perfect fit for their culture" and that I was "technically very strong."Then I got the generic rejection email saying they "have decided to move forward with another candidate whose qualifications better meet their needs at this time." No feedback, no explanation, even though I sent a very polite follow-up asking for any constructive criticism. So I snapped. I literally applied to every single job related to my field that I came across, tailored cover letters for about 30 of them, and used every job board you can imagine. And now I already have two phone screenings scheduled. Sometimes, when you're really backed into a corner, it's quantity, not quality, that gets the job done. Edit: I will briefly tell you what I did, maybe I can help someone in my same situation. I started by tailoring my resume for most similar jobs and made organized folders, each containing a professional, ATS-system-compatible resume. Of course, AI helped me, but just take assistance from it and write things in your own style, this is the most important thing, and the name of the site is resumekit . I started by compiling the sites I will apply on: Indeed, Glassdoor, LinkedIn, but by typing a job in the search and selecting the "posts" tab, not "jobs."I practiced for interview questions with r/ChatGPT and r/interviewhammer helped me in answering the questions. Thank you for your advice in the comments, I will add it to my notes, and thank you for the encouragement.
