I've gotten ghosted by two employers before even reaching the phone interview stage. What the fuck even is the US job market at this point? Both were jobs I'm very well qualified for and don't even paying a living wage. Why the fuck would you reach out to me to schedule an interview and then never confirm a time? Are they fucking punishing us? Is this a humiliation ritual?
Job interviews are like dating.
the modern job market requires you to be persistent across 3+ months of searching, to always expect the worst, to apply to every role you can, to dedicate at least one hour each day to job searching, and to not let the futility of it all crush you in the process

>>1647they are worse because you need to convince 5-10 people instead of just one person
Just completely bombed a second round job interview I faked my way into.
They all say fake it until you make it but sometimes you until fake it until you meet a hiring manager who is actually competent. This job would have basically made up for all my life failures up until this point and put me on the same level as my peers.
Now I am doomed.

Its just a consequence of alienation. Employees are objectified and seen as replaceable parts so they give two shits if what theyre doing is reprehensible or hurts your feels.
