A local government has declared that I don't have the minimum qualifications to be an entry-level database administrator. That should surprise everyone I've worked for in the past ten years including a different branch of said same local government where I ran/was a database migration project, designed the database tables, and custom-compiled the database software. The job description is deleted so I can't go back to it and see what their specific minimum qualifications were. This must be how they get around civil service rules to give jobs to their friends.

[EDIT] Hey, they read my blog. Or it was a clerical error.

On April 10, 2014, you received an e-mail stating you did not meet the minimum qualifications for the position of Database Administrator. This notice was sent in error. We expect to send your ranking/standing notice by next week.

And I forgot Hanlon's Razor.
