If a job requires knowledge of a topic, and your response in your interview hits this sentence more than once, you are not going to get that job.
Unless, of course, you are a Trump nominee.
Trump nominees have gone down in flames for being shamefully ignorant of the jobs the incompetent administration is nominating them for. Some, like Ricky Perry, got through.
Here is the person who wants to be a chief environmental advisor. When asked basic questions about her knowledge, she bombed.

5 Times Trump’s Pick For Top Environmental Adviser Struggled To Defend Her Climate Denial
Kathleen Hartnett White stammered, sighed and sat silent for seconds on end on Wednesday throughout her Senate hearing to be confirmed as the new head of the White House’s Council on Environmental Quality.
It was an unusually tongue-tied performance for someone who has been a bombastic critic of climate and environmental science.
The former Texas environmental state regulator turned climate pundit has argued that “carbon dioxide has none of the attributes of a pollutant,” dismissed it as a “harmless trace gas” and “plant food,” and compared Pope Francis’ public advocacy for action to curb global warming to the Catholic Church’s arrest of Galileo for heresy in 1633. She equated the belief in the overwhelming evidence that man-made greenhouse gas emissions are warming the planet to “paganism,” and accused United Nations leaders calling for climate action of advocating totalitarian communism. Hartnett White deflected those quotes as taken out of context when raised repeatedly by Democratic senators on Wednesday.
In a nearly three-hour long hearing on Wednesday, senators probed Hartnett White and Andrew Wheeler, the former coal lobbyist nominated to be the deputy administrator at the Environmental Protection Agency. Both nominees reject the science behind global warming, and have close ties to industries that stand to lose the most money from regulations to curb climate change. Wheeler, a former legislative aide to Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.), couched many of his objections to climate science in polished, ambiguous legalese, which has earned him a reputation among environmentalists as a competent operator capable of dismantling Obama-era fossil fuel regulations.
But Hartnett White ― who Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) described as “a fringe voice that rejects science, economics, and reality ” ― withered under intense questioning from Democratic senators. She struggled on five separate occasions to defend her rejection of mainstream climate science.
