Totally agree with you, sometimes we focus only in complexity things and we forget the simple ones.
Some months ago I took a lot of interviews and at the beginning it was so hard (first because my English is bad, second to be honest I didn't have a good level), but one think that I hate is that recruiters didn't give me ANY feedback about what I did wrong (even if I asked them, they said we can not give you the feedback now, I didn't ask about the feed back, I asked about a recommendation how to improve, because how Can I do it good if I don't know what is wrong with me?).
Feedback is so important to improve.

Hiring laws, relating to discrimination, can make it tricky for companies to provide honest feedback. It's unfortunate.

Sites that provide prescreening and practice interviews are a bit more flexible.
