Watch it. I'm going to be one of those clueless bureaucrats!!
It's true though, and it's necessary. You can't have a lead engineer spend a week interviewing 30 applicants, he'd never get any work done. You desperately need a filtering system, flawed as it's gonna be. And then let him just interview the one guy that makes it through to decide to hire or not. In theory, that one guy is the best applicant.

It is, in an ideal situation every department will do its own recruiting process, but you need people like us to do it for you in real life.

Glad to see you're enjoying your time there, Oz :)
Yeah, crazy city (again the traffic hehe, I didnt believe in the stereotype of women being bad drivers until Cairo :D), but fun. Was earlier in Salahdin citadel, and they have impressive national museum in there, it was cool to see, it oughta be obvious, but seeing a countries history that can line up rulers&kings that go from 4000 years til modern age is cool.

You know, I wonder about that sometimes. You go to a museum and a sign says "this is x years old". Like who's gonna check the chemical composition and measure if there is a certain amount of C14. I mean they could swing it 200 years this way or that and noone would know :D

And even better with Egypt or China where they barely have anything from that far back, you can cheat so much more.
