Tracking all the job applications...

I've now applied for, or have sent speculative feelers for, a total of 55 jobs (and counting) since the 23rd July.  I've decided to take the weekends off, mainly for the sake of my sanity.  Out of the 55, three has outright rejected my application before ever moving forward to an initial contact/interview, one should be forwarding my details to their client, and I'm waiting a callback from somebody else.

A small taste of my spreadsheet I'm using to keep track.  I'm also keeping tabs on the HR platform because I'd like to know - at least statistically - which ones yield the better responses.  Already I've spotted that many companies that use Greenhouse.io don't do much to customise the templated responses.

Let's keep going!  There's got to be somebody who can make use of my skills..
