I think a lot of interviewers and HR personnel right now are getting tired of it and you may not be getting their best. One of my good friends used to be the NW region HR manager for one of the biggest concrete companies in the world. Now she is in sales and is laughing at what the new regional manager has had to deal with the last couple years. I guess it is pretty fubar.
