[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, so what if the interviewers told you that you were awesome?  What the hell did you expect?  To be told you were terrible?  HELLO LAWSUIT![/quote]

NP. Why would there be a lawsuit?  I agree that usually candidates aren't told that they didn't do well (especially during the interview itself), but I think a lot of it is for politeness/tact reasons rather than fear of lawsuit.  Contrary, if someone answers a question well or something, it's ok to give that feedback right there.  I would not expect an offer just because I was told during the interview that my answers were good, but I also would not expect interviewers to say it if theyd didn't mean it.  I know when I am interviewing someone, I would not say "great answer" unless I meant it, and I would not say "terrible answer" if it was, I would just move on to the next question.[/quote]

The reason for the claim is because the federal government has specific laws that say all personnel decisions have to be made on merit and the legitimate needs of the agency.  Hiring managers have more rules to follow in the government than in private industry.  I am not aware of you would receive too much of a salary increase as a reason for not hiring someone into the government on a competitive basis. [/quote]
