OMG, she didn’t get the *first* job she went for and is upset by that? Jesus, it took me a year of interviews to get my current job (luckily I was employed throughout that time).

Regards short interviews, I had a job for an editor position at a website I had already worked extensively for, humiliatingly, where I had to give a presentation. He let me get about 2 minutes in before telling me stop because my ideas were pointless. Rude arsehole, hope he died since.
