    Charisma is one of those factors that bypass conscious mechanisms. Experienced managers think they aren't screening for charisma but I would say 99 percent of managers who say this…

    I've been applying too. I've landed tons of interviews about 40 total. Did them all. All failed but one. It's definitely harder than before. Much harder. I got failed for the most …
