🚩 Insider Career Advice: What Hiring Managers Really Think About Mass Applications
Having spent 25+ years collectively as recruiters and hiring managers at organizations like the NBA, Madison Square Garden, NFL, IMAX, NY Mets, and LinkedIn, we know firsthand:
Mass applying is one of the biggest mistakes candidates make.
When you apply to every single open role, regardless of fit, it signals to employers that you may not have taken the time to consider if you're truly right for the position.
Instead, focus your energy on roles that align with your skills and career goals. This targeted approach shows genuine enthusiasm and significantly increases your chances of landing interviews.
Remember: in sports, media & entertainment, quality applications always win over quantity. Employers often believe that your application strategy says a lot about your professional judgment – make it count.
💡 Arena Tip to Stand Out to Employers
Maximize Your Profile Visibility
Here's an insider tip that many candidates on Arena don't know about:
Use the "Favorite" feature strategically - you can favorite up to 5 companies
When you "heart" 💜 a company, they can see you're interested when filtering candidates on their side
Find the heart icon under "Search Companies" to mark your top choices
Companies actively use this to discover candidates who've shown specific interest in their organization
See you on Arena,
Arena Co-Founders
