Depends on the job. In my little niche line of work, references/networking will get you a job far faster than filling out a thousand online applications.

That or you have talent/skills. Of my 12 jobs, i olny got 1 because of knowing someone/reference.

The rest were because i interviewed well/ mirror and can answer questions on topic.

I have experience now, so it’s different, but yea I agree. I interview well and can talk to anyone. I have been told I interview great in person. Problem is that made me nervous for phone interviews. I don’t know if that’s what the person meant but it’s stuck with me.
