Yeah the interview process is really shitty nowadays. When I interviewed for my current job it went like this:

Applied for job
Job called me a couple days later to schedule an interview
Went to interview
Job called me the next day offering me the position

I've applied for a few jobs since then and they've all been like this:

Apply for job
Get call to schedule a phone interview
Do phone interview
Get call to schedule an in person interview
Go to interview
Get call to schedule an in person interview with the department head
Go to interview
Never get called back

Fucking hell

Yep, this is the new norm. Oh, and you have to have buzz words in your resume so that a computer can pre-screen you for those words. Otherwise your resume goes in the trash.

Oh, this gimmick as well:
Do that whole interview triad. Interviews go well, feeling confident. Get the call, "Well, you don't currently do the exact job title that we're hiring for, so better luck next time."

The initial phone interview is absolute bullshit. Like just fucking call me to bring me in for a real interview already.
