And worse - more and more interviews require some kind of presentation on 
something the interviewing company is keen to learn about - so it's almost 
become "free consultancy"!

Many years ago, I recall that interviewees for teaching jobs received 
expenses automatically - unless they were offered the job and declined it!! 
So that was hardly a two-way process of matching employer and employee!
