The screener is a 20-minute chat, and the final round interview consists of five back-to-back chats.

Oh, wait, you do not attend the George Washington University Law Laboratory.

I joined a startup once. We crushed it for the two years I was there. Saw double digit, acellerating, year over growth.

Then they hired a slob who had just left Starbucks, he and I never clicked, and I was terminated.

But yeah, I grew tired of hearing the CEO constantly telling us that one of his top two priorities in life was to run a profitable company where his employees loved working there.

This is a structural feature of the economy after the 2008 depression/mugging. The number of layoffs was many times higher than economically needed. Hence the massive reserve army of the unemployed, minimal hiring, and a hiring process designed to be drawn out at every step.

HR is told to reject any request for a prompt interview process even if their calendar is perfectly empty. Interview panels are coached by management to display hostility to applicants. Management will not trust their subordinates' hiring decisions, leading to the multiple levels of interviews.

Thanks, libs. Eight fucking years of African socialism and here we are!

*get lucky with well crafted and tailored resume and cover letter, get interview*

*spend days doing research to prepare for interview*

*craft some convincing excuse to your employer re why you’ll be gone*

*fly across country for interview*

*maintain hours of fake interest and enthusiam*

*”meet” with half the people via shitty video conference even though you flew across the country to their headquarters*

*watch as the fickle person interviewing you grimaces at your response e to some random, minor question after you’d already given hours of great responses to other questions*

HR bitch says “ok great we’ll definitely get back to you very soon!”

*fly home with your hopes held high and spend the following days on Zillow looking at houses in the new city*

*never hear from anyone at the company again*

Repeat this process indefinitely

HR people lie through their teeth and will ghost you most of the time. Applying for jobs is a total flame. The best way to get a job is for the employer to call you and recruit you. I’ve gotten offers 100% of the time when they called me (two companies and one firm in the past year) and 0% of the time when I applied for a job (including several interviews where I flew out to meet with them).

Employers are very suspicious of anyone who applies for a job. They think there must be something wrong with you or that you’re being forced out of your current job. I’ve been interrogated like a I was facing the Stasi when I applied: “why are you here?” “I don’t understand, WHY do you want to work here?” They have some random correct answer in their head and if what you say isn’t it, you’re fucked.

I have been completely ghosted after being the second choice and 6 rounds of interviews over the course of three months. This was also a place where the hr slut fucked up and gave me a date that was a week earlier than when I was supposed to be scheduled for the final round. The GC had to step out of a meeting to meet me in the lobby and actually said “who are you?” I’m sure they blamed me for the debacle even though they conceded hr slut fucked up.

And even if they do know on some level that it was there fault and not your's it doesn't really matter. If someone they had a better experience with another candidate they'll just go with that one even though you didn't get a fair shot. Whole process is fucking garbage and this is in what we're told is a good job market.
