Twenty-nine interviews is too many interviews!
On the company side, they’re just arranging half-hour meetings with 5 or 6 people, so some places will just grab any time that’s available on each person’s calendar the way you would any other meeting instead of viewing it as a coordinated block of time the way you would if someone were coming to the office to interview. But for the person interviewing, these aren’t just any other meeting. It’s terrible and exhausting.
When I was interviewing for my current job a few months ago, the second round of interviews was six 30-minute Zooms with each person on my main team. They wanted me to do a series of half-hour calls throughout the week. I was like, can we at least get these all on the same day? It’s unreasonable to expect people to be in the interviewing mindset every day for a week even if only for 30–45 minutes each day.
This, to me, is asking lots for a candidate before the interview. Am I off-base, or is this the new norm as companies have less face-to-face time with folks they hire? Maybe I’m old-school, but cover letter, résumé, interview, and even work samples seem adequate.
