0:18predicted within the first 15 seconds

3:30 right so let's get started here
3:38 Anthony comes in and he is already running late which is kind of strike one
3:44 and then he hands me his portfolio so we can fix his tie which is really quite
3:48 awkward i'm not really sure what to do with it
3:51 and then after I sit down and start explaining how the interview process is
3:55 going to work
3:56 he interrupts me in order to ask how much he's going to paid and how many
4:00 vacation don't forget which is very inappropriate and at this point I don't
4:04 even want to continue the interview Hurst comes in and is obviously very
4:10 enthusiastic to be there she seems pretty friendly
4:13 I'm a little bit over the top but not something that would count her out
4:17 entirely
4:18 however then when I begin to explain the process she interrupts me in order to
4:22 tell me that she's done a lot more things that aren't listed on her resume
4:26 however when I asked her for an updated resume she doesn't have anything with

4:36 the second krista enters the room i can tell she is not with it when i asked who
4:40 she is she says good which makes me have to ask her again
4:44 obviously she was not listening the first time then when she sits down

4:53 it seems like she really just doesn't want to be there or doesn't care
4:57 also her gaudy jewelry is really distracting top makes a good impression
5:04 right off the bat
5:06 he's dressed professionally in a suit and tie and he shakes my hand firmly
5:09 when I offered him a seat he asks me if I received his resume which is fine but
5:15 the real clincher is that when i'm explaining how the process is going to
5:19 work
5:19 he's looking at me making eye contact nodding and I can tell he's really
5:23 listening to what I'm saying he might not be the most friendly candidate but
5:27 he's definitely professional
5:30 Caitlin enters the scene and I'm not sure she thinks I can't hear her because
5:34 she's still in the hallway but she's ha
