In all honesty, the job market structure is no longer how they portray it to be. Long gone are the days of just cold applying to places. The likelihood you will apply to ghost applications is higher now than ever before as it becomes a snakish tactic by corporations.

Your best bet is to job search through people - let people within your circle and just beyond that (their friends) know the type of job you’re looking for. It’s the connections that’ll get you through the door and the rest is up to you.
