I'm not looking for a job. If something came along that I was really interested in I might consider it however. I refuse to sit through some B.S. interview that asks a lot of stupid questions about how I handled different situations while working 15-25 years ago?? I don't remember or care. I guess I could just make something up. I would think the interviewer would take this into consideration. It's not like the job is for a new CEO or something.

Why not just let us work as a volunteer then pick the best people and hire them??
