The questions were not what I expected.

I had braced for hostility and there was none, and I eventually understood that this was not kindness, it was method: a hostile interview produces a defensive subject and a defensive subject produces a bad record.

The questions were about paper.

Had I ever had a DEG file.

Had I ever sat on a source selection where DEG was an offeror or a proposed subcontractor.

Had I ever been asked to.
