Almost exact same for me. My “tactic,” if that had anything to do with it, was always applying for jobs I was just a little bit overqualified for, calling before submitting my application to ask a couple questions, and submitting the application directly instead of through indeed or some other service
The employer I was applying to work for. I would just call the office and say I have a couple questions about the job listing, and then they’d put me through to the person who knows the answer (usually in charge of hiring)
You can try, but that’s old school. Many job postings now say “WE DO NOT ACCEPT CALLS” in big letters, because people keep blowing up their phones trying this BS.

Edit: (past tense bc I’m self employed now)
Calling who?

That sounds insane. I didn’t know you could just do that.
