I went to an interview today. The third one at the same state agency.

At the end the one main person asked me if I had any questions.
Thinking I won't get this job either I asked for a critique. I never usually never NOT get a job offer after so many interviews and I wanted to know of any impressions. Anyway one of the women in the panel said they did not offer feedback after interviews but the supervisor allowed it told me very kindly that they have been up to 200 interviews per position because so many people were out of work. She said I did fine but that was what they were up against.

I knew the economy was bad but to hear the staggering number floored me. When I went to my car I teared up for the first time since being dislocated.
I don't say this to get sympathy because I am alright. It was just upsetting.

Can you imagine 200 people interviewing for the same job?
