Nothing breaks my morale faster than sending out endless copies of job applications just to be ghosted. Or at best going to endless rounds of interviews that just waste my time

The worst offender was when a company tried to send me to a random street because that was supposedly the retail store that needed people. I looked it up on Google Maps and that store didn't even exist

I just went through 3 rounds of interviews with a company over the last month, for what was a very promising position. They told me they decided not to hire anybody for it. I’ve only had 1 successful job interview since graduating university, where I still work, but I’ve sent out literally thousands of applications, never slowing down. I have credentials, I have experience, I have personal projects; doesn’t matter. I swear half of these tech interviews are to get you to debug some real problem they have for free under the guise of a technical interview, and the other half just want to torture us for fun.
