Because in the example, you asked what to do in order to get the job.
A question? Where? Please point to the question.
There was no question, only a statement was made. (Please reference the following line from the original problem: "Was the director lying when he made that statement?" You are making an assumption about a question that doesn't fit the data you have. What if the question was, "What do I have to do to get a job here?" The director then would not have been lying, would he? However, it doesn't matter in the long run, because you can't make that assumption in the first place.
