I was somewhat prepared to disagree with you, because applying for jobs does take a lot of time, but when I saw your concrete recommendations (20 applications a year if you’re looking, 5 if you’re not) I’ve changed my mind.
I think I’m fairly selective about which jobs I apply for but I would totally agree with those numbers! Perhaps this is one of those situations where some people (like me) need to reverse the headline advice that’s given.
And having read through the whole thing, including your comment, I think this article is really useful—thanks!
