I know that my boss was interviewing people to fill a recruiter position within our firm which was open due to expansion. I was curious as to why. That's when the boss told me, "I don't remember a word he said in the first interview and frankly, the first interview and frankly, the first interview and frankly, the first interview and frankly, the first interview and frankly, the first interview and frankly, the first impression had already been covered in the recruiting industry.
