| | Imagine if you will:
You are the hiring manager of a business. A man comes in for a job. Middle-aged, good-looking, very likable. You start quizzing him about his work background. He won't really talk about it. Only a couple years, in fact, out of all his life are on the public record at all. You ask him for more information and finally, grudingly, he produces a stack of 20-year-old memos taken from when he was only little more than an intern.
You say that's not enough, I need to know about your job performance. You try to contact his most recent employers, but they won't talk to you or discuss his job performance in any way. Except to say they "stand behind" him.
So you turn to the future. You ask the applicant what he plans to do with his new job... but he won't talk about that, either. In fact, about all he does say is that he'll do a really, really good job! I promise! So then, finally, in desperation, you ask what he'd like to be remembered for when he leaves this job.
His response?
"Well, first I'd like to be remembered for getting hired! Ha ha!"
Would any sane person even hire this man to be second assistant junior boot-licker?
I don't think so.
