I've applied to 100s and I haven't even so much as received a fucking phone call. Do jobs even exist? What the fuck. Is the boomer adage of showing up at an office with your resume unironically the only way to do it?

I'm fucking 6 years out of engineering school and I've gotten a total of 3 interviews for engineering positions in my entire life. Am I supposed to kill myself with this college debt?

I just need 1 person to let me know I'm not just busting my resume into a void by applying on LinkedIn or whatever.

    I've definitely gotten interviews on LinkedIn or whatever before from random people (probably bots) because I have the word "Engineer" in my profile. Honestly I think the "immediately apply to any remotely relevant position on LinkedIn and refresh the page every day" strategy probably works best. 1% chance of an interview on every application isn't too bad if you apply to 200 jobs.

    That being said, the boomer show up with a resume shit will never work.

      the boomer showing up with a resume shit is the best way to get entry to mid level jobs, not highly professional ones
