Not really talking about the current job situation, but do you ever notice how there are no postings for really obscure positions that definitely exist but are never posted anywhere? I feel like David Graeber would have a lot to say

    it’s a numbers game you just make loads of applications until you get one

    you absolutely shouldn’t get emotionally invested in a job until they give you an offer.

    It’s a bit like online dating

        this is true. It can be hard to find jobs to apply for. You mentioned you have friends who work in industry asking them to let you know if there’s a posting would be good.

        A website where job openings are posted would be ideal. Really there should be a government department where every company has to register job openings, that would massively streamline the process as a central repository of all jobs would cut down on the search
