If something works for you, great. Don't assume it's the best way for everyone else. This reminds me of a few places I've interviewed with. As soon as I realize the interviewer (usually someone in HR trying to thin out the pack) is doing this, I wrap up the interview and make a note to NEVER apply to that company again. What too many people fail to realize is that the hiring process is a two-way street - I'm interviewing the company while they're interviewing me. I've rejected a few offers based solely on how I was treated during the process. If a company wastes my time, treats me as a supplicant, not an applicant, why would I want to work for them?Most companies and hiring managers develop some pretty bad habits when the job market is bad. Those same folks are always in a world of hurt when things turn around. It wasn't that long ago that companies couldn't expand operations because there simply weren't people available - not just superstars, even warm bodies weren't applying. But the great companies didn't have that problem (certainly not to the same degree).The smart companies don't just focus on avoiding bad hires (which is important) - they actively work to make good hires and then retain those folks. They see the current job market as an opportunity, not a hassle. Smart applicants can tell the difference and (usually) go to the best.</blockquote>
