This could make sense. Just seems like a larger change than I’d have expected from that.

I don’t have much to add that others haven’t already said, but don’t get discouraged. I just switched jobs 5 years post graduation and applied to roughly 320 positions. Out of those, I received about a dozen interviews and 2 offers. All applications submitted between September and November, and there are still more than 100 that I haven’t received a response from. It’s a numbers game. I will say, I had more success with applications made through a company website rather than LinkedIn.

There must be some sort of logic driving the reduction, which is what I’m lost about. There appears to be no actual reason for the drop.
