She's got personality

A younger acquaintance of mine recently decided to change jobs. I gotta wonder what folks are thinking when they're trying to hire someone these days. This was the craziest thing. This one place took her through an interview with their Human Resources department. That went well, so then she's scheduled for an interview with the person she'd be working with directly and to meet some of her potential co-workers. OK, that one was good. Next up and about 3 weeks after she first sent her resume she's scheduled to meet with the Regional Manager or some such fella. As far as she knew, that went pretty well too. Next stop, the job offer right? Nope, then she gets sent a personality profile. What the hell? Why not have that be the first step? Everyone involved had several hours of their time completely wasted by this point. She'd already taken another job by this time, so it was all a wash for her. I guess maybe they didn't have anything better to do.
