Yes but pretty sure it was pre-3.0

i can't remember what exactly my experience was versus what others reported and such, its been ages. i do know: 1) i questioned ~10yrs ago whether folks could get longshot jobs (and the other status of similar effect?) and 2) the result was a conclusive yes

did you ever apply and not get instantly rejected? if so, i believe that means you qualified, but lost to a more qualified job. i believe nobody was able to report an experience where they didn't get instantly rejected, and didn't get the job, but a simai still had it - they always lost to someone. so i think as long as like, you've not been instantly rejected even once, then you know its working as intended (or at least have good reason to believe so - and the experiences of others should be enough to tip the scales from there - i think that is the exact process i followed back in the day but maybe i got the job, i dont know)

actually, a bolt of recollection just hit me. i still have no idea if i got a longshot job but i remember i wanted to evaluate this myself - so i had a policy of applying to every job with longshot or the other status... keep looking is it? - anyway this was when i didn't want to move jobs (or had extra applications to spare) - so i would apply, wait, then pull my resume if i wasn't immediately rejected. i believe i carried on like this for a while and felt the ratio of instant rejection felt like you'd get somewhere around 1 shot in every 10. now, if those are attractive jobs, your odds of getting it from there are pretty low - so actual ratio of jobs gotten is probably minuscule. but that is sort of a different question right - we all know the better resume wins (by whatever dumb metric is used) - and the interest will vary by school. but you can investigate when you even quality easily.

so yeah - just do that (if you still care to find out, that is!). any time you don't want to leave a job just use all your job apps on all the available longshot / keep lookings and you'll get a feel for what the actually chance is. actually if random folks want to do this like 2x each, it takes literally 2 minutes of effort, we could perhaps get like 100 applications in a pretty short period and actually have a sense what the odds are here in 3.0 era.
