Roy Baumeister called ego depletion "one of the most replicable findings in social psychology." As someone who spent 20 years studying it—and ultimately had to admit it wasn't real—I have to respectfully disagree. Here's my perspective of what went so wrong.

In my psychology intro course, I have talked about the low predictive power of unstructured job interviews. Even made fun of them.
I recently interviewed students for TA positions. One of them noted: "How interesting to be invited for an *interview* by *you*, who do not believe in interviews." :)
