However, only three prospective teachers were interviewed by the Archdiocese lay personnel director. None of the three after discussing the job conditions were interested enough to supply the customary transcripts or letters of recommendation. Although the Administrator's investigation revealed that qualified job applicants were available, there is nothing to indicate that anyone other than petitioner, was interested in the Archdiocesan vacancy.
