Fox just reported that there are 4 people competing for 1 job. Normally there would be 2 competing for 1 job.

It is worse than that!
I know someone who applied onine for a job in a small town here in Ga. The applicant received an email from the job search website indicating that 72 other applicants had applied for that same job! And it was not even a HIGH paying job! Paid around $32K.

It’s way higher based on my experience. I have been told on recent interviews of 40 to 50 resumes per job. One position I applied for had 115 applicants. Employers are barely looking at resumes in detail. I never thought it would be this hard.
