When I was on the job market several years ago, i showed lots of interests in several schools. They rejected me and did not even bother to reply to my thanks email. Some of them even said the paper does not make any sense. I now have several papers in top journals and they suddenly contact me to apply to them. The search committee has changed but i will never consider them.
The power balance is not always in favor of the demand side. Be aware. People grilling a job candidate can be grilled by those “stupid job meat” in a few years and miserably rejected when they are desparate.
