travelled to an interview, only to later find out they hired someone who was
pt or subbing in the district.... probably someone they already intended to
hire, but they had to make a show of opening the position and accepting
applications.

Geoff, I've had the same experience as you. One time I was interviewing at
a great high school in my area. The assistant principal at the interview,
when he saw where I went for my masters, asked me if I knew a particular
woman. I said yes. He said that she was interviewing for the job too and
asked me if she wasn't terrific. I was caught off guard and didn't say a
word. Afterwards I found out that she had graduated from that high school
and got the job. The truth is she was the worst candidate in our masters
program. Oh well....... E
