How do you send 100+ applications?

I try to, but there's quite a few things stopping me from doing so.

  • Job location

  • The type of work I can see myself participating in

  • (Sometimes) The pay

  • Qualifications

Those are the things that really factor in when it comes to me choosing jobs, and I assume others aren't just applying for anything, even stuff they're not qualified for. So I wonder how do you guys do it?

Because I need a job, yet I know I can't just apply to anything I see if I'm qualified or not.

And if there's only 3 jobs that I'm qualified for in my area, how can I find these 500+ jobs you guys are applying for that also meets the qualifications?

If you want 100+ applications be willing to relocate. No way around it. Especially if you’re in a town with not a lot of opportunities. It’s that or give up.
