Comment on 20+ years of xp, interviews are still hard, still dunno what to do with carrear

I think my interview/offer ratio is somewhere below 1%.

Keep your spirits up, and be mindful that there are tons of job adverts out there that don’t actually have a real job position to fill, and are only used by recruiters and consulting companies to harvest CVs and meet their internal quotas. 1% sounds about right

Now you mention it, maybe people with a better interview/offer rate are also doing a better job on not wasting time with positions they aren’t a great fit? I get interested when they ask me about things I used only a little before, so I end doing a lof of these

I suspect that some interviews are just to say they interviewed X people before they chose someone

  Yes, that’s indeed a key factor. However, I should stress that some of these adverts simply do not have a position to fill. Recruiters post these ads, they go through candidates, sometimes they even line up some interviews, but ultimately they do not have a job to fill at all. In my experience this is the norm with staffing agencies.
