I didn&#x27;t quite follow the same approach recently... Was my first time looking for a job in several years.  I sent out maybe 50 resumes and got callbacks on about half of them.  I mainly applied locally.  Also, updating my linked in profile got a lot more cold contacts than sending out resumes did.<p>I was pretty selective as far as finding a job, the interview process reduced the responses to about a third.  In the end there were about 3-4 I was interested in, and one of them bumped up the offer to where it was about 20% more than the closest competing offer, so I decided to go with it.<p>However, I&#x27;ve got about 18-19 years of experience in my field (full stack software development, focusing on web applications), and stronger throughout the stack than most.  Many of the positions were labelled &quot;Senior&quot; but the pay, and desired experience, didn&#x27;t align with that statement in my opinion.  It really just depends.<p>Having a strong resume will go a long way... having a summary statement with your desired position, goals and skills along with technology you are familiar with followed with work&#x2F;project history reinforcing that experience will go a long way in terms of getting in the door.
