I have been applying to get a new job and it has not been going well.
You apply for a job that is advertised with a specific pay range. You do the calculations and figure out how to make this work with the commute and work schedule, do the interviews, even do an UNPAID WORK EVALUATION you KNOW is illegal, because you want this job. They FINALLY call you and make you an offer and it is SEVERAL DOLLARS BELOW the amount in the job listing.
It's getting closer and closer to the end folks...
