It mostly sounds like you are trying to justify inaction.
Posting on lemmy certainly isn’t going to help.
There’s countless jobs, it’s not that bad. Typically if you aren’t getting at least some emails back it means your resume has some serious issues and needs fixing.
Pretty much everytime this comes up, the persons resume is very poorly setup and it’s obviously why they aren’t getting callbacks. Wrong formatting, not parseable, not straight to the point, not scannable, meanders, skips over critical information…
That or the person admits they haven’t been putting cover letters on the applications.
