It's been months now. I've been applying to dozens of jobs per day, adjusting my application to the position, working with agencies, getting feedback from recruiters, trying to network, improving my skills, volunteering as a research coordinator, etc. I've had interviews but unfortunately haven't received any offers. I know it's a matter of time and luck, but I just don't know how to keep my morale up at this point. Does anyone have any recommendations to share for myself and others going through this struggle?

Six months. 400+ applications. Handful of interviews. Just got an offer.

I've met a lot of recruiters over the past months and they all say the same thing. It's WEIRD right now. Lots of jobs, lots of applicants, lots of mismatch. They sift through hundreds of resumes per day.
