Well if you never try applying for any of them, I can safely say you have a 0% chance of success. And as I've pointed out on numerous other occasions, if you actually spend a little time on Facebook and connect with, I dunno, the hundreds upon hundreds of free job-seeking groups or entrepreneurial groups or whatever niche your looking for, you'll have a way better chance at connecting with someone who is actually hiring rather than submitting resumes to some office drone who doesn't even check their inbox.
Elph laughed at the suggestion to network if you want a better job, but it really is the best way to go. People are far more likely to hire you if they like you, know you and trust you to some extent before they even see a resume. The guy who bothers to show up when nobody else tried is the one who is going to get that salary and benefits and 3 weeks of vacation every year and profit sharing.
