Re: job-hunt weirdness

[Peter Neilson <neilson -at- windstream -dot- net>]

Um, when they describe the exact job you are currently doing, that's not 
an exact match? Perhaps they had additional but unstated criteria. "Must 
NEVER have used Lisp, Smalltalk, or Ruby." And you've mentioned them.

But the original question was about why the job, after not bringing in 
the obviously qualified candidate, apparently does not get filled, and 
gets re-posted. Those of us who have been on the hiring end know all 
about the crazy things that happen on the inside of companies. Like the 
hiring manager who quits. You don't get a reply from him, of course, and 
his successor just starts the process over again a month or two later.
