About ten years into my career as a city manager, I was interviewed for a similar position in another state. This was prior to the availability of the internet for research, so my information about the city was limited. My wife and I were greeted at City Hall by the mayor a couple of hours before the time I was scheduled to meet with the other council members. He gave us a brief tour of the offices and then drove us around town. This was a huge mistake on his part. By the time we pulled back into the parking lot, I had already decided I would not be moving my family there. The meeting to follow, then, would serve as a rehearsal for an interview that would take place elsewhere.
There is also a bit of irony that you shared this on April Fools Day
Completely unintentional, I assure you.
