Talk about bushwacking -- I just interviewed for a position where the company recruiter sent me an e-mail asking me to interview for a Business Analyst/writer position, along with the relevant ad. But when I interviewed, the second of three managers asked what made me think I had the qualifications to be a multimillion $$$ government IT security contract administrator! Everything I sent to them and brought to the interview was focused on tech writing! The third interviewer was the project director for the contract!

When I asked him why he chose to interview me, given my absolute lack of contract administration experience, he said "the last two didn't have any experience either." The operative words there, obviously, were "last two". And no, I still haven't heard from them! ; )

This is also a lesson for job-hunters: if you use a recruiter, make
sure you know how they're presenting you before you commit to anything.
In my last job hunt I rejected two recruiters solely because of what
they did to resumes.
