petty theft

i have been asked to sit on an interview panel. (never done this before and it's quite different to be sitting on the other side.) (actually i don't think i've ever had an interview in front of a panel; i have never sat on either side.) (anyway; enough of that aside.) (har har)

so: i have to look through all of the applicants' job applications and argue for who we should interview. and i was merrily doing this when i found one person who had applied who currently works in the advertising organisation, just in another dept. to my astonishment, i found that she (for so it was) had copied several paragraphs from her department's website in her application - pasting them straight in, without any change (so they didn't even really make sense - hence i found them). how stupid is this? to steal from your current dept to apply for a job in the same organisation. are you a r-e-t-a-r-d?

needless to say, she is not getting an interview

(delicious sense of power)(evil cackle)
(but she deserves my cackle)
