To be honest I would be more concerned about not getting any replies from a dating app.

I am not a developer but from what I read online there seems to have been a vast amount of professionals in your field being made redundant or just sacked.

Employers, I have experieneced this, are overwhelmed with job applications and they can wait for the best candidate while keeping everyone else hanging. Then drop everyone once they have chosen their knew staff member.

My sister is a director of fine art and just last year she needed a new secretary. within the first week she got over 500 applications.

My sister is brutal and a bit mercenary and just picked 10 at random and chucked the rest in the bin. I challenged her about this and she said she did not have the time to read through 500 CV'c and job applications.

She then interviews the 10 candidates and chooses the one she likes. For her its not about qualifications and how many degrees you have, she likes human people who she can get along with.
