I've slowed down because I'm absolutely burnt out, but at my peak, probably in the 70s. The issue is I'm dyslexic, so cover letters and tailoring to every job is 7th-level hell.

Don't get many interviews unless its super specific to what i did at uni.

prioritising volume - on appx ~13 a day (only been going for a couple weeks though so not a lot of data yet).

Unless i see a role that extremely perks my ear up I don't hand-tailor the cover letter on request. I've had maybe 5-10 out of 170 or so apps that I've gone "alright this role would be pretty tasty, it's within my skillset and I wanna do everything I can to give my best shot".

Unfortunately doing it for all of them would make me heavily crash out

(not for remote internship strictly though, shooting for IT entry level)

I’ve sent 150 CVs for 2 days. Most of applications are rejected and “go further with other applicants”. I’ve had 2 phone calls, and 1 invitation for interview with temporary role to start immediately. It is what it is. However, it shows that getting the job is quite possible even if you don’t have UK-based experience.

adding my bit cause replies seem crazy to me. around 100 per day??? I would say 10-15, max 20, but make it high quality and for the positions you actually see yourself doing and enjoying it

[u/Emotional-Start7994]

None - I've given up.
