I applied to 1,600 jobs in 4 days with an agent I built: here's how it works

Description and use

<p>Last recruiting season I hit the point every student hits. I'd spent a whole evening tailoring one application, typing my GPA into my fourth Workday portal that week, and I was pretty sure nobody was ever going to read it.</p> <p>So I started tracking which applications actually got responses. The pattern was boring and obvious once I saw it:</p> <p><strong>Responses mostly come down to volume, plus applying early.</strong></p> <p>The roles where I heard back were almost always ones I'd hit within a few hours of the posting going live. The ones I'd polished for days and sent on day four? Si
