How many jobs should you apply to per week when returning to work?
In this episode, I break down why applying to 15–25 jobs per week can dramatically shift your momentum, confidence, and results — especially if you’ve been out of the workforce for years.
You’ll learn:
Why momentum matters more than perfection
How volume builds interview skill and confidence
Why applying more actually reduces overthinking
How to normalize rejection and stop personalizing silence
What “reasonable fit” really means (hint: 60–70% is enough)
If your job search feels slow, discouraging, or overly personal, this episode will help you shift from waiting… to structured action.
