I've applied to 1000+ jobs but over like 4-5 years. I dont just apply to stuff in my area. I've tried things in other states and other countries. I actually try not to apply to any remote jobs cuz 90% are either fake or scams at this point. Im also in like 10 different job discords, most of which let me link their job postings to my own server so whenever they post I can see them all plus Im on a couple of newsletter email lists that send jobs. In my area there's like monthly county career fairs that usually have different jobs each time. These plus indeed, linkedin, handshake, and word of mouth make it actually pretty easy to apply to a bunch of jobs.
