RE: How about the candidate who prepares assiduously for a (government, admittedly) job interview, only to be met with the opening remark: “We’re not interested in your qualifications or experience to perform the duties of this position...”
OK, you got me curious... what WOULD BE of interest to the hiring managers?
ha ha!
a very corrupted agency ...
they had to dance around it but frankly it was quie clear....they were mostly interested in assurances (!!!) that the selected candidate would help them make money (in ways not public, except when they got careless, caught of course....)
1. keep your mouth quiet if you discover anything we’re doing
(since the position was close to their “action”)
2. help us if we ask you (since the position was one of several that, by then, they were employing to conduct some of their money=making activities)
3. don’t tell us the law or your thoughts about ethics in government, we’re not interested in those things, either
4. assure us you’ll play our game when we ask you, by our rules, and keep your month shut
etc.
a difficult interview for anybody with any morals
