I was recruited by a large travel company that advises people on trips. They sent me a questionnaire beforehand and asked that I send them my answers. Being earnest and naive, I spent a couple of hours writing a bunch of short essays as answers. When I arrived for the interview, nobody had even read them. Needless to say, each time I've been re-recruited by that company in the intervening years, I've declined. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
