For those folks who do not know about Robson Forensics, it is a firm that works to determine the cause of structural failures and the like.   Their headquarters is in Lancaster, PA. Well, folks, we have a story you need to read about because it will make you wonder why you should even hire them to do investigations.   Let us start the story, shall we? Robson Forensics placed an ad for a Structural Engineer for their San Jose, CA, office.   A Candidate we know applied for this position after receiving an email from their LinkedIn profile from Robson Forensics recruiter and Headcase Janelle Busby!   This person has 20+ years of Structural Engineering experience, is licensed as a Structural Engineer in Washington State, Ca
