The biggest lie about “applying harder”

The biggest lie about “applying harder”

“Apply to more jobs” is the most common advice — and the least useful one.

More applications usually mean:

• less focus

• weaker tailoring

• no feedback loop

Without feedback, effort turns into noise.

The issue isn’t motivation.
It’s the lack of a system.

👉 What matters isn’t how many jobs you apply to — but what you learn from each one.
