Man the new normal for me is hard to get used to from a job search perspective, and I was just doing recruiting a couple of months ago. The shift is entirely to employer empowered, its a buyers market with so many people out of work.
In the past I've never basically had to do pre interview through email. but it seems to be standard now.
I had one of the position execs reach out and it was almost like he didn't read my resume or cover letter but looked at whatever marking was assigned by the Applicant tracking system because he wanted to ask questions on my Business Development vs Account Management skills that I'm strong on both, I'm fine with basically writing essay answers, I guess it shows business communication skills, but I feel like job searches are more like RFI's and proposal theory then interview theory.
