This is Exhausting

[springgarden]

I have applied to about over 50 jobs online today.

It is so exhausting and time consuming.

Most if not the jobs require experience and special certifications or course taken. I applied to them any way.

Do others find it exhausting?

So I just wait as usual for a response from them?

Do you keep track of all the jobs and places you apply to?

I'm LONG out of school...but what I'd do is-

Make a list of the places you apply- the date, follow-up phone number, and any contact person's name.

You have no idea if the computer spit your application out or now- so I'd also have hard copies made (hit up Kinkos) and go to the facility. If they refuse to take it- at least you showed the initiative to go to them.

And keep it up...finding a job is a job (pay's lousy). And keep pursuing what you can- don't limit yourself to just the "desired" job- get ANY job for experience- then transfer later :)

It can be very exhausting! I felt this very same way earlier this year. xtxrn gave really good advice though-keep up with the info concerning where you applied and for what. When you are putting in numerous applications, it is very easy to forget what you applied for and where. I think the follow up is very important, as it shows your interest in the position. It's also something that most people neglect. I also want to add that the cover letter is a big deal. I had a friend of mine go over my cover letter (which I thought was totally awesome) and he ripped it apart! Once I took his advice (and passing NCLEX played a part) I began to get some hits on my app. Good luck to you! Persistence pays off.
