Job interviews
My own experience with HR is limited both as an employee and an employer. However I am at least passingly familiar with the process. That is your name is put forward for a position and they look at your credentials and they decide whether or not to interview you and then. In the case of the United States government they will go so far as to hold public hearings about your candidature. And with the incoming administration people are wondering what is actually happening. In the last week three of the top candidates we’re told that they would not be going through the hearings. At least not right away. The calendar said that they would happen but then the calendar was changed. So what does this tell the rest of us? Well one division is that things are confused right now. There are people who do not know how to do their job or what their job should be. Therefore they make it up as they go. Is this a problem for a large nation? Only if you believe that the administration is important. If you have a nation where one man holds all of the power there is no need to worry about the staff below him. Those posts are irrelevant. Now I am not going to say that we do a better job up here in Canada but at least we tried to keep the confusion vector to a minimum. If only I had a time machine so that I could fast forward this movie to his conclusion. I want to know how it is going to turn out without having to spend the time. And remember this whole thing applies to both them and us. We like to believe that we elect people so that they can represent us. Not to rule over us. That page has been lost in the script. Please look under your desk to see if you can find the missing words. We would like to get this show back on track. Meanwhile the rest of us will continue to pay our taxes and hope for a resolution.
