interviews are depressing and a waste of time

Three weeks ago, I was approached by a recruiter for a role that I really wanted. It was a great match for my background since I have relevant experience in the same industry.

I managed to secure an interview and was genuinely excited, so I prepared hard for it.

After the interview, the recruiter followed up and told me that the hiring managers had a great impression of me and would keep me updated.

Three weeks have passed, and I still haven’t heard any news. The recruiter says the hiring managers are still in the midst of interviewing candidates. To make matters worse, the company I interviewed with reposted the same job on LinkedIn today.

This whole thing felt like a waste of time.
