I've been applying for the last 8 months. Companies are now using job interview scheduling software (which sometimes goes straight to my spam) in response to their resume parsing systems. Most of these companies are easy to spot -- they ask you to bring your resume (which they have never seen), and hand you a one page application. I spent a long time traveling to one of these interviews, and the interviewer told me he just wanted to see what I looked like, and shook my hand goodbye.

That sucks that you had to travel all the way there only to be given a handshake and walked out the door. While it sucks, there is a great job out there for you and you just need to keep applying to find it. I would try adding a spam filter to your email that redirects it to a separate 'job search' folder so you don't lose valuable interview opportunity emails!

Good luck Gregory Shelton !
