From my job search last year and early this year.
Ageism. I'd pass phone interviews, often multiple ones, only to get quickly dismissed when they figured out how old I was when they met me in person.
Lack of timely feedback from interviews, especially after initial contact with recruiters and HR reps.
Recruiters getting my name and number and calling about contract jobs I had no interest in or didn't have the appropriate skills.
Misleading statements by recruiters. They seem to work on the philosophy that it's not a lie if they believe it.
Recruiters who don't live in the same city who don't understand the length of commutes here.
Pushy recruiters.
Language trivia or code on a white board interviews.
