Over half of the interviews I had 2 years ago were for nonexistent positions. People like to interview people to pick their brains or to get inside information on the competitor the candidate comes from.

I sent out probably 150 applications before I finally got a bite five months later from my current employer.  And that was in 2007, before the shit really hit the fan.

My coworker sent her application into the feds two years before they interviewed her.  The jokes almost write themselves with the Office of Personnel Management.  Thankfully, the Obama people seem to at least have a clue that it's shit -- which puts them lightyears ahead of Chimpy and Clenis, but it still needs a massive amount of work.

The wife's been without a full-time job for going on three years.  I think I'm going to have her read this thread so that she knows she's not the only one.
