I Applied to Every Single Fortune 500 Company

I spent 15 hours applying to EVERY.SINGLE Fortune 500 company in America to demonstrate the realities of applying to jobs online.

Applying to jobs REALLY sucks, and it takes an insane amount of time and effort just to get the process started. This week I'll be explaining why that is, the results of my experiment applying to 500 jobs, issues I ran into along the way, and what approaches are actually effective for landing interviews and job offers.

Dad here; this is highly consistent with my own personal experience and advice. I only wish you had made this video sooner. Thanks!!!

Underrated content. I will share this with my friends

35 interviews for one day's work is wonderful.

when it comes to the tech giants especially, its unusually rare that they will contact anyone who applies directly, the jobs they post on their own websites they are looking to have filled by candidates already within the company. if you really wanted to work for a particular large corporation it will typically have to be through a contracting agency at first, and then once you're situated they will put you in higher consideration for regular employment

Damn, what a great video. It's a very niche content but I think you're gonna grow a lot given the quality of ur content.

I swear you’re super experienced making content but somehow your channel is small, it feels you got milllions of subs.

Hey, big fan of your work! Im am international student graduating August 2024, finding it very difficult to secure a job. Could you please help me with job search? Would really appreciate it!

Congratulations on this video! You followed my suggestions much better than I ever could! It only needs a little touch of "Curiosity" in it's cover.

May I suggest that you add some text in the thumbnail that says "I applied to ALL SF 500 companies with the perfect resume to prove the system is broken" With yours and Johnny's picture and a label that says "Not really me" pointing to Johnny XD or somehting like that.

Because the titlle I Applied to Every Single Fortune 500 Company and the thumbnail it has now (which is really pretty btw) doesn't give me enough curiosity to click it if I don't know you and know your content.

Here is my first video, although I warn you it's very far from being as good as yours
