Taylor Desseyn explains why applying to hundreds of tech jobs doesn't work: the volume of applicants is too high. Instead, focus on your personal network—the people around you—to find real opportunities.

Mass applying does not work. We as human beings confuse activity with productivity. I'm gonna apply to 500 jobs today. I did my job. I'm good. I have— I'm on texting basis with a lot of engineering leaders at this point in my career. They all send me screenshots. 600 applicants, 1,000 applicants for one job. Do you think your application is going to get seen? Where is the power to find a job right now? It's the person to the left or right of you.
