You only send 1 application per month? I've read it's normal to send over 60 applications before you get a job. Are you sure there are no more websites you can use to look for more job ads? I also read that more than 70% of job hires happen on LinkedIn.

I'd have to do a few a day. Especially if they're cold, via job sites and such.

I think the LinkedIn stats match up with my experience too -- if you exclude referrals. I think 90%+ of our hires were via referral. The rest were mostly LinkedIn.

In 2017 I put in 200 applications to get a single job in the span of about 2 months.
