Job Hunters Share Struggles With Intense Interview Processes

Job seekers are sharing their experiences on Reddit about the intense interview processes they're facing, particularly with companies like LinkedIn and Indeed Jobs demanding more from candidates, even for entry-level roles. This has led to a stressful and overwhelming job hunt. Reddit users have highlighted several issues with the current interview process, including companies and hiring managers lacking proper training in talent acquisition and candidates being rejected for lacking experience not clearly stated on their resume. Tech giants like Google, Amazon, and Microsoft, along with finance heavyweights like Goldman Sachs and J.P. Morgan, are known for their rigorous selection processes, including technical tasks, coding tests, and multi-stage interviews. Management consultancies like McKinsey and Bain & Company, as well as ambitious start-ups and automotive giants like BMW and Airbus, also demand extensive preparation from candidates. With companies asking more from applicants, even for junior-level roles, the job interview process has become overwhelming for many candidates. Reddit users advise focusing on resume, credentials, referrals, and reputation instead of interviews, but balancing job hunting with current employment can be challenging. Generic responses from companies make it difficult for candidates to understand hiring priorities, adding to the complexity of the job search.
