Shady Business in Bookers Office....(follow up)

Earlier this week we bought you guys a story on a poor representation of Newark's Mayor Corey Booker and if you thought that was bad wait until you here what just came across our desk. We reported how thousands poured out for a chance to gain employment with the City of Newark under their One-Stop Career Program. The program and its director informed candidates that there were only 25 open positions available but what they failed to inform the  candidates on was the pre-selection process that goes on prior to the interview process. We spoke to a source within the program who informed us that prior to the orientation and interview process the employees of the program actually go through the list of potential employees and mark those who they are familiar with, whether it be related or just friendly with. Pre-selecting relatives or friends of those who are already in employed in the office is not only illegal  but it is  morally wrong as well. This pre-selection process gave up to 5 candidates per employee the opportunity to bypass the initial interview process. Although the 25 positions were pretty much filled prior to the make shift orientations and interviews, the employees had to continue with the process to avoid raising the eyebrows of their peers and fellow city employees. We hear often, how we live in a "its not what you know but who you know", time but who would have thought it would really be that easy.
Pre-selecting employees didn't give those candidates who may actually need the job a fair and just chance at employment. The employees of Newark's One-Stop Program went into this process basically with tunnel vision. They already preselected their candidates, they just had this event to cover up their tracks. What else has gone on over in those city hall offices? Shady! Shady! Shady!
