How Many Jobs to Apply to Per Week During a Job Search

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.
