    Paperwork, lots and lots of paperwork I reckon.

    Or maybe something that they couldn't possibly succeed at in real life?

    Basic qualifications look like they demand top drawer material...


    Edit. To explain...

    If someone comes into my place of business inspecting, say, bird boxes.

    I expect them to know more than me about 1. birds and 2.boxes.

    Not to be the lowest common denominator of a box-ticker...expect/demand more.
