Imagine you’re an interviewer. Now picture two scenarios.

Scenario A: You’re interviewing 5 people today and 6 more tomorrow. You had 30 seconds to scan each resume before they walked in. By the third candidate, your attention is drifting — everyone’s background looks similar, everyone has prepared standard answers, and you’re trying to make subtle distinctions between highly similar candidates. After the last one, you can’t remember what the first one said.
