Either you come off very poorly for a variety of reasons, or you're interviewing for jobs that don't really exist or with companies that enjoy wasting time on recruiting for sport.

Look for shorter term contract gigs. Those are usually real, and once you get in the door, it's often easier to suss out what is real and what is not, and who the players are in that org. Many of the best employees that I've seen hired at non-entry levels came in through that route.

> Look for shorter term contract gigs

I initially applied for shorter contract gigs, but I found they had the same interview process as full-time salaried gigs. In the future I'll push back on some of the interview requirements for contract work.
