Thanks. I appreciate the encouragement. It was definitely pretty slow at the end of the year.

It isn't about getting responses though. That is generally fine, from what I can tell.

It is more that I feel like every company wants to talk, and they want to test you, but really are not interested in hiring even if you seem like a good candidate.

E.g. they want to wait for other candidates, are slow in scheduling, have tons of required interviews where they ask similar things
