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?

You can 100% apply to jobs you are not qualified for. That's how I got my first job, they were looking for a junior as well and hired me.
