   * you work on a skill for years - you go to an interview and they ask   
     you a "to objective criteria" series of "angels dancing on the head of   
     a pin" questions - excludes any chance to discuss your ability for a   
     job - more specifically; a device to exclude all reality

   The HR person who should be prefiltering candidates before the experts   
   interview them can only discuss what they understand, which is policies and   
   procedures and maybe a vague misunderstanding of the actual job   
   requirements, from someone perhaps good at doing but not explaining. For new   
   product secrecy Segway fed the employment agency fanciful distractions   
   instead of their real requirements. I might have studied ship block   
   coefficients and hull speed if I'd taken them seriously. Actually I got that   
   sort of detail from the extensive Titanic literature.

   A liberal arts education teaches one to memorize and regurgitate the current   
   set of accepted doctrine, it's no help to enter and explore the unknown of   
   practical skills and new technology.
