Am I the only one who refuses to apply to companies requiring Admins to take meeting minutes and dictation? A.I. I can literally record a meeting and do the same. These employers need to start operating in this century. Had a phone interview w/ one from two states away, insistesed I travel on my own dime to interview in person. For clerical job? I told them I was out of state up front. I guess they never heard of Zoom either. Boasted being in business 80 yrs. I can tell.

There are a lot of places that seem to be behind the times. I couldn’t imagine a big trip like that just for an interview. No guarantee of a job or how long it will take them to get back to you. Interviews for me lately have thankfully been a little more high-tech but still a pain as is.

Also, do interviewers still appreciate a hand written thank you for the interview?
