Job hunting can be looked at just like sales. Any salesperson will tell you that sales are a numbers game. This is also true for job hunting.
When it comes to looking for a job and applying you need to play by the numbers. You will not land every job that you apply for.
It is for this reason that you need to think of everything that you do as an investment into your final success.
Most job hunters will only hear back from about 30% of the jobs that they apply to. This number may seem low to you, but is an
accurate average of the rates of return on job-hunting. Out of the number that you hear back from, you will go on the interview. Of the interviews that you go on, you may get a job offer from
about 10% of them.
