Like <lj user="writerwrench"> said - already internally filled, plus they are chock full of beaurocratic bullshit. And it only gets worse once you ace that interview. I stood it, despite the advice and input of people who know me very well and KNEW I shouldn't even attempt a gummint type job (I'm too much of a rebel to put up with it for long) for almost 5 years... for the bennies. Then I "paroled" (I worked at a max sec prison), and went to nursing school for a wee bit of a change. Best move I ever made, and the people I left are STILL there (the employees - could care less about the inmates) and whining about how come I got to escape and they're still there. Takes BALLS, people. And I've (philosophically, anyway) got 'em.</p> <p>Count your lucky stars that the interviews were horrid. You didn't REALLY wanna work for a "company" that does things like that, anyway. Right?</p> Things like this are EXACTLY why I hate gummint type jobs.

Count your lucky stars that the interviews were horrid. You didn’t REALLY wanna work for a “company” that does things like that, anyway. Right?

And waste time, since the job has already been internally filled, but they had to go through this charade to fulfill legal requirements. Or that's what I'd suspect. </p> <p>What a bum day. I hope tomorrow is better for you!</p> Sounds like a pair of job interviews very carefully crafted to confuse, puzzle, and disorient applicants.
