The context of the following conversation is Kendall though of hiring Casey, but made Casey fill out of job application first.:
Kendall says I had a good candidate for my open position but then thought otherwise after they filled out the job application..
The friend responds Well what does writing something down on paper have to do with the position you have available?.
Kendall responds The application is a formal part of the hiring process. Once Casey filled out the application, I could not offer him the position..
The friend responds Why not?.
Kendall responds Human resources wants all potential hires to have at least five years experience in the field. Casey only had four..
The friend responds Wow, that must really suck. And I know you do everything by the book..
