quit applying to 30 jobs a week and started applying to 5 I actually wanted, took longer but the interviews felt different

Was doing the spray and pray thing, thirty tailored-in-name-only applications a week, barely any responses. Cut it down to five a week where I actually read the whole posting and wrote a real cover letter. Took an extra month to land something, but every interview I did get felt like they actually wanted to talk to me.
