When I was young I never had to apply for jobs. They would come and find me. Come to think of it, that's how it still works today, with a difference. Now the jobs are very brief. I get a phone call and quickly respond, get paid OK. Back then I would work for a year or so after each phone call. Job applications? Sure, done dozens of them. Results? Nil. The only way I have ever gotten decent jobs was by knowing someone who knew someone offering a job, or by walking in the door and speaking with the owner about why I want to work for him/her.
