I’m in uni, i haven’t had much luck with applications so far. I know that most people actually get places by having stuff to show off e.g projects, clubs and GOOD GRADES. My grades are “mid,” and I’ve had no time for clubs and projects (engineering student, supporting family, poor mental health)
Spam applying for places feels like it will do more harm than good. Am I right to feel that? Or completely wrong? One argument against might be that no human is going to see the application most of the time, so it really is a persistence game


When I was looking for a job an awful long time ago I was sending 8 a day and that seems small time compared to what you’d need to do now. Most of these places will have AI doing first soft on the applications anyway so don’t feel like you’ll be annoying anyone.
