In a recent article, Harvard Business Review doesn’t mince words about the expected impact of generative AI: “Calling GAI revolutionary is no hyperbole,” HBR writes. “Business leaders should view it as a general-purpose technology akin to electricity, the steam engine, and the internet.

Virtually every interviewer we’ve trained, new or veteran, talks more than is necessary during interviews. All of that “filler” wastes valuable time. It robs the other person of the ability
