> It's amazing how little effort many seemingly qualified people put in to secure an entry-level job.

That would be because when you're applying to a huge number of jobs per week and get no response for almost all of them, it gets really hard to actually care about any of them.

He was referring to interviewees; ostensibly the interviewee has "heard back" from the potential employer, thereby landing an interview.

It is at this point, IMHO, the interviewee should at least pretend to give a shit about the place that has risen above the silence that candidate had heard to date, and opted to spend the time to interview them.

GP said he was interviewing people. Surely you can care when you go into an interview?
