&gt; You interview for one job, and eventually end up doing something else.<p>LOL yeah, that&#x27;s what happened to me for my last job. A recruiting process that lasted 4 bloody months for an electronic designer position, and when I was finally hired they put me on software testing; not only I had never done this, but I had never heard it was a thing. Anyway, after less than 2 months I was better as this than the CS graduates who had been doing it for several years and they were asking me for help in their work.<p>But now I have been unemployed for 2.5 years, I made it to the interview stage <i>only once</i> during that time, and <i>I have given up on even just applying</i> to any job offer for the last 5 months because it is absolutely pointless and humiliating to be repeatedly discarded by people who are clueless, who don&#x27;t give a flying fuck about the persons they &quot;harvest&quot; and lack the basic respect in social interactions (like spending 2 minutes of their precious time answering a question, not blatantly lying, doing what they said they&#x27;d do, or even just showing up at the very appointment themselves fixed!).<p>So yes, in a way, I&#x27;ve quitted and I am getting ready to become a street beggar when all savings are gone. In the blogger case, his situation is too fresh, I don&#x27;t think his mood of the day will last long for this time (and after all, he got plenty of interviews, at least), but I am really really tired of these completely nonsensical recruiting processes and their humiliating consequences.
