My spouse is not in tech but in comms. The quickest I know she's done an application has been O(hours) primarily due to writing cover letters, personalizing resume and often sending in clips.

Having seen that, I find it amusing that we techies (yes me too) get annoyed when we have to provide our Linkedin AND all the information on that page.

Yes . . . I don't think I have spent less than 1 hour on any serious job application I have done. It usually takes multiple hours. My spouse is in Academia, and her job applications take days!
