Red Tape!

Today I got an email from the HR specialist handling the Kuwait position. He said that he needed (1) an official transcript and class rank from my law school; (2) a self-certification that my fitness to practice law has never been challenged and a bar certificate of good standing; and race and national origin information.

Talk about red tape! I graduated from law school 21 years ago, and I do not have that information handy. I will now have to get this information from the University of Minnesota, which could easily take two weeks. You would hardly know that we are fighting a war when this is the hiring process.
