It takes hours...when my son was laid off, he was told to regard job hunting as a full-time job itself. It certainly could be that. The other amazing development that I've run into is background checks worthy of an FBI security clearance. Some of these amount to invasion of privacy and are truly outrageous. One job I'm sure I won't get required applicants to indemnify the employer against any harm that might come from revealing your Social Security number, driver's license number, and other sensitive information: since they had you fill out the application online in a Word doc, I added an exception to the effect that I was not indemnifying against harm incurred by the careless loss or theft of that kind of information.

I've sent out dozens of resumes, been on only a few interviews. This last time, I went on three interviews for a receptionist position! You'd think they were looking for a CEO!!! Don't know if I get the job yet. It's a very time consuming activity, this job hunting thing. And not always very rewarding.
