    So true.

    A favorite screening question of mine: “What makes you want to join [company name]?”

    Ugh. I need a job and you’re my 20th application today. The world runs on money. The end.

      20th? Hahahaha I wish. I have applied to over 500 in the last few months. Keep interviewing. Just not getting a position.

        You may need to do some brushing up on interview skills.

        I always have the opposite problem - getting an interview. I’ve never interviewed for a job without getting the offer, but getting my resume past the fucking computers is a nightmare.

          I have been getting second and third interviews. Even told “we may wrap this up next week” from HR. But no offers.

        You guys are getting interviews? I can’t even get a response. I write a cover letter every time and even tried lying on my resume. Nothing works, so I gave up and got a job at Amazon.
