Is this the real job market?

As a recent graduate, I recently made the decision to change jobs. I came across a position (as shown in the first picture) that I was interested in and planned to apply for later that day. However, to my surprise, the position had already closed with over 500 applicants! It was a shocking realizat

I don't care what anyone says, nowadays you HAVE to know someone in the company to even get CONSIDERED. It's how I got my current job. Branch out, befriend other people, etc...because that's the only way you can get looked at in your application.

Yes it’s pretty hard! I got hired from 800 applicants (web design position) I think one needs to stand out, portfolio needs to stand out, take courses and get certifications. LinkedIn learning is great for that.
