Worst Person for the JobIn a week where it emerges that the new Health Secretary is a fan of the hocus-pocus that is homeopathy, tell us about people who are spectacularly out of their depth in a job.

There is a technology personnel drought in the UK.Recruiters are putting forward candidates on the basis of one or two keyword matches in the database (I have the word 'development' in my CV and am continually being carpet-bombed with e-mails asking if I'd be interested in a job in software development- I'm in hardware integration). Agents get 'discovery fees' and lie on behalf of their candidates. And not all interviewers know how to, er, interview. Manpower suppliers are happy to claim for hours attending a place of work with no concern about work actually done. A lot of doofuses get through the net.
