I'm trying to post more frequently now. I had slowed down with the posting since I thought my job search was ending, but that was obviously not the case.
I've introduced "job statz" to this blog. It's something I'll be updating everyday (even days I don't post). I just wanted to give a more-detailed picture of how a job search feels and how mine is progressing. If anything is unclear, or if there's a category of statz you'd like to see implemented, I'm happy to help. Just post a comment or email me or something.
The statz are in approximate order of excitement. Here's some more detail on the numbers:
Job applications submitted: The raw number of times I've sent a company my resume and/or filled out a company's online application form. It's safe to say that I saw myself as a good fit for most of these applications. This number includes any applications that led to interviews, rejections, or were ignored.
Outright rejections: The number of times a company was nice enough to tell me they weren't interested. This number is only for companies that didn't interview me.
Interviews: This is the total number of companies that have interviewed me or that have interviews pending. This means I submitted an application and the company wanted to know more about me. This includes any companies that later rejected me and companies that I'm waiting to hear from.
Got close and ended with nothing: This is the total number of companies that interviewed me (maybe even more than once) and invited me to tour the facilities and so on, but ended up not offering me a job.
Got close and still waiting: This is the current number of companies that have interviewed me as many times as they deem necessary and are now just making that final decision.
Job offers: Someday, this number will be non-zero.
