the other 5% goes to monster, careerbuilder and dice.com but you can tell those ones aren't as good.
I've sent out more resumes then Tony Fauci has covid-19 variants, which is to say a large amount. But I've done it almost entirely on Indeed.
I've even gotten to the point where I'm not even sending out a real resume anymore. I send out a perfect version of myself that has large deviations from my true employment history and even with that the silence is deafening.
I'm just a run-of-the-mill c# winforms asp.net mvc programmer. So I'm not specialized in a certain area. I'm just a general purpose programming unit. So I don't really like the idea of running down some company that I want to work for because to be honest I don't want to work for anybody. You know what I'm saying it's not like they would be using some technology that I specialized in because I had a passion for it. I don't have a good answer for why do you want to work here. I just need the money and I fit the job description so I guess I'll put up with all of your office politics in order to do this work in exchange for money. So for me it makes more sense to just apply to jobs that have already been posted which is why I really only use Indeed.
But indeed isn't working at all. Pretend like I need to find a good paying job or I'm going to end up homeless. What would you do if you were me?
I don't have a good answer for why do you want to work here.
You absolutely need to have a positive answer for this. Every resume you send out should be in a folder with a notes page to prep yourself if you get an interview. Make sure you have canned answers to other stupid questions, like your greatest weakness (which is falling out of popularity, but still gets asked). It should be a real weakness (dampened though) and (mandatory) how you are overcoming it.
Reducing my resume from two to one page helped me. Customizing my cover letters helped immensely. The first paragraph (or two) should be written from scratch addressing why you want to work for the company and what you personally can contribute. The middle section should be adjustable boilerplate (I had a master cover letter that I could quickly pare down for each company). The closing should be mostly boilerplate as well, but I would at least reference the company's name to make it seem customized.
I believe the cover letter is way more important than your resume. The resume is more of a background check.
Review the company's website and look for anything you can bullshit about. This includes projects they have completed, their corporate values (trust, honesty, other vomit), whatever. Don't worry about sounding fake. You are a salesman selling yourself. Stick some of these things in the opening paragraphs. Don't worry about it almost being copied verbatim. Also, possibly note that you did review their website, addressing a deeper section in particular (i.e., not the homepage).
It sounds like you want to be straightforward, honest, and boringly practical during the interviews. Don't. Be a chipper faggot. Embellish your accomplishments. Take more credit for things than you deserve.
An example from a project I did in the 90s: I integrated my communications purchase ordering software running on an NT Server with the corporation's AS/400s pick system.
What I really did: My program dropped off files into a specific folder where someone else's program would send the files to the AS/400s. I didn't do shit. One could easily bullshit any reasonable question about it.
I hope some of this helps. Good luck.
E: I forgot to add. I would spend over a half hour on every cover letter. Once putting more time into them, I started getting a lot more interviews. Your customized parts probably will not be that great initially, but once you keep doing them for a week or two, it really becomes a lot easier. Also, obviously keep the resume and cover letter you sent to the company in the folder (named for the company) with the notes. During interviews, you want to be looking at exactly what you sent them.

dice used to work well , and have 45 paid recruiting firms scanning it for buzzwords
your buzzwords are all tired and old "c# winforms asp.net mvc programmer"
- "typescript" (that would get you a interview in 2021) - "react" (that would get you a interview in 2021) - "Docker containers" (that would get you a interview in 2021)
you never mentioned you had skills in those three in the OP post. You only mentioned "c# winforms asp.net mvc programmer"
adding two more buzzwords will doxx you though (your real name and real phone, so just shut up, unless you like paid ANTIFA jews to firebomb your car in your sleep, or your house)
I hire through some of these, but I am not hiring right now, and cant hire people I met here on this site anyways:
GOOD LUCK!!!, use a real phone, and ANSWER YOUR PHONE!!! Any new phone number never seen, with new email never seen gets over 50 phone calls a week combined from all these... for the first 8 days.
You will get 50 phone calls , and pay close attention to all the shittiest ones too
Stack Overflow Careers (soon to be bought out like 80% of tech job sites bought by Jews, despite 3,241 jobs open on it in Aug 2021) : http://careers.stackoverflow.com/ (will die August 19 2021, from Jews paying to shut it down)
Get PAID IN STOCK OPTIONS mostly and work for tiny new startup ? Then https://www.ycombinator.com/jobs/ But 99% of those jobs either go away when company implodes after C Funding round or D funding round. A job at a D funding round company on management intervention and all founders fired PAYS A LOT OF MONEY PER HOUR trying to save a dying company. Shitloads of money. Do not take any stock from series D round.
USE https://www.crunchbase.com/ to learn how many startup "funding rounds" burned on a dying huge tech company. You can search for dying well funded (recently) Series D funding round companies to focus on as a CONTRACTOR using this tool, it lets you see the funding round ins a list. "D" not E F G H I J, is the one to focus on. "D". And founders fired within the last year. These THROW piles of cash at emergency hire contractors as too many key people flee sinking ship.
Without paying for pro access, you need to manually lookup companies on Crunchbase
Remember... A Series D funding round tech company that never made a profit... 95% of time is bought out or closes down or is "pivoted" to a new income model. Other series D are multibillion dollar UNICORNS but you never want to work at a unicorn as a permanent engineer.
you already mentioned...
www.indeed.com (never used them, never visited site, I think its too many normies, but it is a resource I hear of).
you can get a job easily (for the first 8 days a new phone number is used on these sites), even easier if a USA citizen and no felony records.
the ultimate goal of EVERY computer job web site is to be bought out by large Jew companies and merged and subverted. Therefore do not be upset that all of the above change hands between Jew middlemen constantly and new ones created.
If I tried hard I bet I could find 40 more new non-Jewed ones, but the above is enough for you to find a job.
My sister thinks too many people I hire look and sound "creepy" after she meets them at a party.
Maybe that is why not one tech company in history , seeking private sector income, was started by a woman and ever made money. Women cant create companies ever. Maybe you are "creepy" and talking to women recruiters?
Indeed is straight garbage. I sent out hundreds of applications using it and received zero replies. Anything is better than Indeed.
You should get on LinkedIn if you are not already. Get a professional headshot of yourself wearing a nice business casual shirt, and fill out as much of the profile as you can and add as many people you know as possible. Then in the section "open to work", put that you are casually looking (I got more results with this rather than "actively looking") and list a few job titles you are interested in.
Also, make sure to specify your industry correctly in your profile as it affects how you show up in searches. Another thing to do is to go into the settings and change your race to a bunch of "underprivileged groups." This definitely increases your rank in recruiter searches.
You need to be sure to include several high value skills in the skill section of your profile, and take skill assessments for some of those skills. That will boost you in their algorithm. A lot of the answers to assessment questions can be found here (never hurts to make a fake account to practice though): https://github.com/Ebazhanov/linkedin-skill-assessments-quizzes
Also, other things that will boost your rank in recruiter searches (from my experience): purchase LinkedIn Pro, download the app, like or share one thing everyday if possible, respond to any recruiter messages you receive (even if it's just a polite "no thank you"). I also tend to add any recruiter that I interact with if they seem intelligent and it is a positive experience.
Doing this, I get at least a couple of reach outs from recruiters every week. One last thing, these recruiters have zero attention span. If you are interested in the company and position they are trying to fill, try to set up a call with them same day. Good luck!

I would put it out to my network of people that I am seeking gainful employment. I got offered a job earlier this week that I didn’t even ask for and have only tangential experience with because they heard I have a good work ethic, ability, and attitude. If you have at least one or two of those, you should be ok. Can you hook up with a headhunter, like Manpower?
I don't really have a network of people. I have used headhunters but they were all bigger more corporate staffing agency types and also of course about 100,000 indian head hunters who call me out of the blue.
I don't have a good answer for why do you want to work here.
I would always do a little abckground research and say something about company values I liked, or some exciting product or accompishemnt you want to work on.
