Hit 300 cleanings without a single callback last week

I always figured a few callbacks were just part of the job, no matter how careful you are. But I hit 300 chimney cleanings last Tuesday without a single person calling me back to complain or ask for a redo. It was this old lady on Elm Street who said her draft was better than it had been in 20 years that made me realize I was actually doing something right. Has anyone else kept a streak going longer than they expected?

300 with zero callbacks? That's almost suspicious.

Man that's rough but honestly not that unbelievable. Actually heard a similar story from a buddy of mine who does a ton of cold applying - he hit like 250 before he got his first callback. @joseph_murray8 I think the market has just been brutal lately, especially for certain roles. Could be a resume thing too, like maybe the keywords just aren't matching what the bots are scanning for. Have you tried switching up the format or tailoring each one a bit more? Sometimes even small changes make a big difference.
