I recall in the early-90s recession sending out resumes and filling out applications for over 400 jobs and getting only 10 interviews.

What are these 'interviews' you speak of?

For the most part, I complete on-line job apps, then never hear back from anybody, ever.

For the most part, I complete on-line job apps, then never hear back from anybody, ever.

During my professional work career (70s-90s), I typically got a 3% response [interviews] during recessionary periods.

During one non-recessionary summer, I got 3 job offers [from previous interviews] and 2 interview requests all on the same day.
