My job hunt stats for 17 years in the field

17 years ago I started my first full time s/w engineering job, and now I'd like to count my experience with software developer job interviews, from the interviewee part of the table.

I was interviewed 7 times. I passed 6 interviews, failed a google interview, and accepted 5 job offers.

During this time, I also applied for about 30 jobs (all very close matches, some referred through ex-colleagues), and I got 0 interviews from these applications... That includes 0 interviews out of 3 applications in 2016.

All 7 interviews I attended so far were results of networking. I guess my CV is really bad :)
