My wife was searching for 2.5 years. She had as many as 11 interviews for a single role without landing a job - "internal hire, sorry" being the common response (wtf...) and in the end it was a previous manager knowing someone else they'd both worked with years prior was looking for someone with her skillset - she had to interview as a formality, but was effectively offered the job before any of the interviews. The process is brutal. We're just sheep lined up for slaughter being "allowed" to keep a job as long as a few people are making multiple millions off our efforts... soon as that gets a little too low and they're not sure they can survive on a mere 7 figures annually, boom; lots of folks lose jobs. yay "capitalism" Hopefully you find something soon.

My first full time job, other than the US Army, after getting out of the Army and moving from Ohio to California, I was told by a fellow at a motel where I was staying that there was a company in Mountain View on Fremont Ave that had something to do with agriculture. So, the next day I walked in the front door of that company and told the receptionist that I wanted to apply for a job. She arranged for me to meet the department manager of field research and development and we chatted for a while. I told him that I had a BS degree in agronomy, from The Ohio State University with a minor in soil chemistry. As far as experience, I was an officer in the US Army. He took me over to meet the Director of Research. He asked me a couple of non technical questions, like was I married. He then called for the department manager to come and get me. I heard him say to the department manager on our way out, to hire me. He made me an offer and I accepted. I was then sent down to HR to find out what my salary would be and when I was to start. All my other positions, in that company and the other companies I worked for, came about because other managers called me. So, I have found that doing a good job at your past positions and getting exposure in your industry can be quite helpful in staying employed. Maybe things have changed in the job world ...... and maybe not - Good on ya, there, spike021. |

That's not unusual, and actually makes sense. Every company I've ever worked for required you to interview a certain of qualified internal candidates along with external ones, and all things being equal, hire the internal candidate.
So, it also happens the other way around. "Sorry we found a more qualified external candidate".

I was turned down just last week for a role to nobody at all over "want someone with a fresh perspective". Stuck in a rut, or this one may be a personal vendetta. Who knows.

Well, yea 11 interviews is excessive. I don't think I've ever had more that 3 for any job. Personally, I rarely call someone back for more than a second interview session (which could include more than 1 individual interview).
Hope things look up for you soon. We can't get candidates here, so when we do, we treat them gently!

I am suspicions that our latest warehouse hire has a heartbeat. He moves pretty slowly and his eyes always look half closed. Probably just high

After 3 I would have told them, "I don't think you are the right company for me."

Last job I had they wanted me to do a second interview in person in the middle of what would have been a vacation that was planned 6 months in advance. I told them that I would be happy to interview once I got back but I wasn't going to interrupt my family plans for them. Next day, I got the job offer.
