Preaching to the Choir

Spending time trying to convince people who are already behind you.
HR won't hire this guy. They want someone who can "hit the ground running". They must be waiting on a "purple unicorn". I apologize, I'm "preaching to the choir". (LOL. That was 3 metaphors in one explanation. I recommend using Urban Dictionary to look of the other two metaphors)

preaching to the choir

Extolling/defaming a cause to people convinced of it's greatness/horridness. Etymology is obviously from christian church choirs.
