This is exactly why I hate job interviews. I wish there was some other alternative. It's enough trouble as it is to assemble a nice cover letter with a nice resume, while having fingers crossed hoping one will get the job. Then when the time finally arrives, a fuck-up or two throws it all out the window. Then, it's back to the gas station for another few months.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Yeah, I think that's how it should be (in terms of broadening opportunities) in most cases. In general, eliminating someone by being too picky and overlooking their stature that spells asset in technical competence for the betterment of the company can be a shameful disposal.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
