Do you have a source for this or are you just doing what the majority left ‘people’ do -> make shite up on the fly(as if factual) and frequent use of Begging-the-Question?

It seems like a logical inference. If someone claims to be an attorney, don't you think someone being vetted to be THE press secretary would be asked: "In what state(s) are you licensed?"

Did it seem to you like she had been properly vetted??? Do you think they even had an audition? "Let's see how you read from prepared notes..."

In answer to your question though, I heard someone make reference to a Washington Post article that said the usual protocols were not followed in selecting her. Behind a pay wall, so here is ChatGPT's summary:

######

The October 9 Washington Post report, by Natalie Allison and Katherine Doyle, provides the clearest account of the selection process.

According to the newspaper:
Zacharia visited the White House approximately two weeks before her appointment and returned the following week.

During the latter visit, she met with Trump.
When Trump was on the West Coast over the summer, he sent her congratulatory text messages after watching her on television.
She had longstanding relationships with several Trump advisers, including White House Communications Director Steven Cheung.
During her brief tenure as a Department of Homeland Security spokesperson, she worked closely with Lauren Bis, who subsequently became a senior deputy White House press secretary.
One source familiar with Trump's thinking described Zacharia as “straight out of central casting” for the position.
Trump announced her appointment on October 9, praising her loyalty and longstanding support for him.
Source: The Washington Post's October 9 report on Zacharia's appointment??

The chief of staff was reportedly bypassed
This is perhaps the most consequential detail.
In its October 13 follow-up, the Washington Post reported that Trump announced the appointment without first consulting Chief of Staff Susie Wiles.
According to four people familiar with the internal discussions, Wiles and other senior staff members learned about the decision the night before Trump publicly announced it.
That suggests the appointment did not follow the usual process of a senior White House personnel decision being discussed extensively among the president's top advisers.
