Skills Holders know that it’s all about quality, but have things changed in this job market?

Skills Holders believe that the majority of their job search time should be spent on the most important parts of the effort:

• finding a champion
• locating unposted jobs
• applying for those positions where they have a champion
• interviewing
• following up

The idea of applying to as many jobs as possible in the hopes of increasing the odds of getting more interviews is, well, odd.

I posted my take on the "quantity vs. quality" argument at the CardboardResume blog. It may sound like a Zen koan, but this is the upshot of my advice:

“Once you get that quantity doesn’t matter, you realize that quantity is everything.”
