Let’s Listen to a Dialogue•What are 3 points you learned about job interviews?

So how many applicants did you interview today?
we had 11 today.
How did it go?
Well, most went really well. It will be a tough decision.
You said most … how were the others?
Oh yeah? What do you mean?
That’s right. Too much jewelry and make up or cologne is not appropriate, but then so are ripped jeans!
