If anything it's the internet that's the problem.

Back in the day all it took was making the effort to show up and giving a firm handshake. Now there are thousands of applicants and about four or five jobs.

Yep, I've experienced both, although I do admit that I prefer working from home...

The firm handshake worked great until I met an employer who was higher Dan in Judo than me.
