Luck and luck only

I believe Carl Sagen was referring to applications when he said, "millions of billions of stars in the galxay." I'm sure that there are trillions of resume's for any job, but after submitting a hundred-thousand, you'd think that skill would be involved, but no -- mostly luck. So far, I have recieved confirmation that a place or person got my application and resume' and might get back with me after they read the other millions and conduct interviews with the top ten before moving on to the lessers (I'm in this category) aka bottom 90. Chin up, keep applying and die, die again.
