Job interview: Is this the same over there ?

whenever a company shows interest in hiring me, I typically go through a process that includes a minimum of three interviews, along with a test or a case study to assess my qualifications for the job.

Although it’s long, frustrating, annoying, I have no choice but go through that when I’m looking for a new job.

I thought it was the norm everywhere but I had a conversation with someone from the US who mentioned that they always went through just one job interview. it's worth noting that this person is not involved in the marketing or business field. She is/was a teacher. She told me she was very surprised about the process here.

What do you think ?

In the USA most employment is at will. Which means that either employee or employer can terminate the job any time without reason. It doesn't often play out that way, but it does mean that employment here use much easier to change. Two weeks notice for leaving a position is common. Terminating a job without cause been happen any time. I'm aware of countries in Europe where it's normal to give 3 months notice before leaving a position. For example. Terminations tend to be rare. The vetting process in places where changing employees/employers is more challenging tend to be much more thorough.
