I managed to find a job through a combination of that and actually reaching out to the hiring manager to introduce myself. I think all sides are starting to lose faith that the current system is functioning efficiently.

Unless something goes horribly awry, I completed my 3rd successful job interview in 30 years yesterday. I'm comfortably retired and applying for jobs far below positions I've held previously, and the process is ridiculous. And then you walk in to almost any retail space and it's filled with WTF employees.
I really don't understand how we got here.
