How to apply to 100 jobs a week without losing your evenings

A realistic system to send many good applications every week: where to look, what to tailor, what to automate.

Why volume matters

Most applications never get a human reply. That is not a verdict on you: roles close, get filled internally, or receive hundreds of applicants in a few days. The students who land offers are rarely the ones with the best single application; they are the ones who keep a steady flow of good applications going for weeks.

The goal is not to spam. It is to remove every minute that is not judgment: finding the roles, re-typing your history, answering the same questions on the tenth Workday form.

Find roles the day they open

Fresh roles get read; old ones sit at the bottom of a pile. Check the employers you care about every day, and prioritise anything posted in the last 72 hours.

Search by role and city rather than by company only: the right job is often at a company you had not listed.

Tailor what matters, reuse the rest

Recruiters scan the top third of your resume. Keep one master resume, and for each role adjust the summary line and the three bullets closest to the job's own words.

Keep a bank of standard answers: work authorization, sponsorship, start date, salary expectations, why this industry. Most forms ask the same ten things.

Batch the forms

Group applications by portal. Ten Greenhouse forms in a row go fast; switching between Workday, Taleo and Greenhouse every time does not.

Track everything in one place: company, role, date, portal login, status. Following up is impossible without it.

Automate the repetitive part

Filling forms is the part with no judgment in it. That is exactly what MAXX does: it finds fresh roles that match you, tailors your resume to each one and fills the application on the employer's portal.
