my heart goes out to job seekers - the thing to remember that the better the job, the stiffer the competition -- this, in addition to you good advice. I'm in the midst of querying literary agents & keep trying to buoy myself, starting with the idea that I'm seeking a great agent, which means that I'm lucky if they read much of my query. also, there's the old sales saw that 'no' gets us closer to 'yes'...
The additional challenge to seeking representation is that it involves intangible trends and market forces. In a job search, people apply for jobs that presumably exist in a fairly straightforward way.
Yay Michael! That is the most hopeful and inspiring story I've heard in a long time.
I just put up the turtle crossing signs on the causeway down from the house. We need to take care of the beings. ❤️

Greetings from across the pond!
'Not to mention that some bosses, hiring managers, and companies are indescribably insane...' - I like that!
