Not really a fair comparison, considering some of these countries are much larger than the others, and some of them have serious mountain ranges that prohibit the development.. of further networks.

For example, France is 18x larger than Belgium. Everything else being equal, you can't expect a larger country with more rural area to be as developed in public transportation networks as a smaller country.

For my first job, I had a phone interview, an on-site interview, they kept me on ice for a while but I kept following up. Then they demanded another phone interview with east coast office (in 2010 before zoom), they still weren’t sure and put me on ice again. Then I got a “meet up” interview in person with a practice director who happened to be visiting the city where I lived… I finally got the job after that. If I didn’t get that job I probably wouldn’t have been very successful in my career. Not even sure what I’d be doing. It was also during 2010 and there were almost no openings anywhere so I felt extremely lucky.

So that was 4 interviews technically and I really cannot imagine having to go through 8.

That said what happened to interviews 6 and 7 on this chart?

>checking availability and all the base things like general salary expectations

You can resolve that by just having the full details set in the job description and then you will know that all which applied are ok with those details.No need for that part at all.

>Sorting out the creeps

I looked it up. Wikipedia says there were 2.

The first was flying out of Switzerland after a 3-day stay at a time when the country had mandatory 10-day quarantine.

The second was attending Wimbledon at a time where UK Covid rules required him to be in quarantine.

I think the spiciest one though is some unspecified “transgressions in his personal life” that he admitted to in 2016 and sent an email apologizing for to 75,000 employees.

It's a terrible self-fulfilling prophecy. The longer it takes, the worse your prospects become. As a hiring manager I know that long periods between employment is a huge red flag. At some point you just gotta lie and tell people you took a year or two off to find yourself or something. Good luck out there.

While that might have been the national motto since italian unification, I think it's a problem of harvesting datas, for example I clearly see the bus lines in the Trentino province but in the Veneto region I can see them in the province of Verona and Venezia but in the other provinces just the railways. I guess because there is not a single central authority some do not publish datas online in the same way.
