It's time for some tough love: If you're getting shot down repeatedly after technical interviews, then maybe you need to expand your search to other areas. That's not a process problem: you're not getting the jobs you want because they don't think you can do them. So the solution to avoid wasting time is not to apply to jobs for which you aren't qualified.

I wish someone had told me this sooner, because after going through the above scenario again and hearing "we'd love to hire you if you had a bit more experience" for the umpteenth time, I realized you're right.

Thanks for the tough love--I'm going to focus on getting that experience.
