    We all know that it's a pain in the butt, but what's the single worst thing about the whole process?

    Telling your old employer that your moving on... At least at my last job, my boss was great but they couldn't match the other offer.

    I find multiple interviews annoying. Nothing worse then going through 4 or 5 interviews to be told you didn't get it. Also, some employers take months to go through the entire process *cough* WorkSafe *cough*

    The worst part is you don't know the answer to the question during a interview.

    Yeah, going through weeks of the hiring process only to find out you didn't get the job is a real pain in the @ss. I don't know why it would take 4 or 5 interviews to make a decision on someone, but hey, that's some businesses prerogative!

    Regarding telling your old employer, I know that's tough. But hey, any good employer realizes that you must take care of yourself, right? At least you've made an ally and a good reference for your next career moves!

    I perceive quintuple interviews pesky. Thing worsened then accomplishment through 4 or 5 interviews to be told you didn't get it. Also, whatsoever employers involve months to go finished the uncastrated deliver *cough* WorkSafe *cough*
