The question you should be asking is how do you compete against them. Not bitching about it. You can bitch all you want, but it won't change anything. You are still not getting the job. Some idiots even think they can change the situation by bitching to the government but i can assure you it changes nothing. If a hiring manager feels more chemistry towards a candidate he/she will hire that candidate no matter what the government says or do. There are always thousands of ways to justify a hire just like there are many ways to skin a cat.
