We’ve all been there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Applying to all companies just to never hear back or getting rejected right away.

Here’s a script that you can use to apply to your dream job on AngelList<\/a>.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

function scrollToBottom(){\n      bottom = document.body.scrollHeight;\n      current = window.innerHeight+ document.body.scrollTop;\n      if((bottom-current) >0){\n        window.scrollTo(0, bottom);\n        \/\/wait a few\n        setTimeout ( 'scrollToBottom()', 1500 );\n      }\n      \n(function() {\n\n  var placeholderString,\n  placeholderWords,\n  contactName,\n  companyName,\n  customNote,\n  jobDescription,\n  jobUrl,\n  jobInfo,\n  str = '';\n\n  $('.job_listings')\n\n    .filter(function(_, elem) {\n      return ($(elem).attr('data-force-note') );\n    })\n    .each(function(_, elem) {\n\n      \/\/ Find the URL for each job listing.\n      $(elem)\n          .find('.top a[href]')\n          .each( function(idx, value) { str += $(value).attr('href') + \"\\n\"; });\n\n      \/\/ Get the company and contact info\n      placeholderString = $(elem)\n        .find('.interested-note').attr('placeholder');\n\n      \/\/ Split placeholder string into words:\n      placeholderWords = placeholderString.split(' ');\n\n      \/\/ Grab name of recruiter\/contact\n      contactName = placeholderWords[4];\n\n      \/\/ Grab company name\n      companyName = $(elem).find('.startup-link').text();\n\n      \/\/ Build personalized note\n      customNote = \"Hi \" + contactName + \"!

    Caveats<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    There’s a maximum number of active applications you can have on AngelList. I’m not sure how many those are but I estimate it around ~100, so be a bit more selective in your filters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
    From AngelList:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Candidates: What does it mean that I’ve hit the application limit?<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
    At this time, the number of outstanding applications a candidate can have are limited. As they expire or are processed, you’ll be able to apply to more jobs. We encourage candidates to take the time to understand the company and be selective with their applications, instead of openly applying to every job out there.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Ultimately this improves the experience for both sides – companies will get higher quality applications and candidates will be more likely to get a timely response.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
