I made an 8 hour trip (two taxis, a bus and a train) the night before an interview, paid for a hotel for the night, did a 4 hour interview in the morning, and then did the same 8 hour trip home and I didn't get an offer.

that was rude. they should have made it a remote / virtual interview online through MS Teams.
its inexcusable to ask a cndidate to travel that far for an interview without reimbursing them for it.

>> No.58300302

>>58299675
That’s nothing
Last month made it through 2 levels of interviews for the same job
They then flew me out to Idaho for the 3rd interview
Cleared entire schedule and wasted so much money
Get there and have lunch with them all and do interview
Then they tell me sorry I didn’t pass the 3rd interview
Complete waste of an entire month and my plant died

I don't want to grovel and beg just for the opportunity to be a slave, but what's the alternative? You can't even build a little hut for yourself somewhere because it'll get torn down, and you'll get shooed away like a bum. I almost feel like it'd be better if everybody had no choice and was just given a very basic government job at the minimum that you weren't allowed to refuse, like a fucking maintenance worker who maintains the city.

>> No.58301280

>>58299675
Most interviews are just placeholders. I always assume they already found a candidate and then proceed to not give a shit. More of making it super casual and not treating it as interview where I stress out. I’ve even landed six fig salaries as a swe answering certain questions with idk when idk kek

anon, you didn't have to tell them anything else to disqualify yourself. you told them you're desperate, out of your element, and have nothing else going on in your life by those two details alone. nobody competent wants an employee like that.

As much as I hate it you have to ring them. They can ignore everything else.

But hiring managers and particular recruiters are complete cunts who simply don’t care how stressful job applications are

If only the market gave options.
I've tried my luck in Europe and so far it's night and day in terms of response rate, I think I might be getting 2 offers out of ~50 applications. Over here I applied to over 500 positions and got 2 call backs, rejected at the HR stacy. Rest were blanket rejections.

Yeah, it's just part of my (manual) sequence. Although I do feel I should try to send them a bill and see what happens for a laugh.
I keep a spreasheet of all my applications and have a date-based filter on those applications I should contact back. Just a quick email based on the sequence item and off it goes.
Rest of the time is applications, leetcode, and interview assignments.

Damn. All I've managed to get from them is a 6 month retail job (actually pretty good, but they couldn't afford to keep me on) and a traineeship that went nowhere. Basically every meeting is reading off what's happened over the couple of weeks then arranging the next meeting.
