interviewed with two weeks ago. He thought the interview had gone well, but he
reflected on it he began to have doubts. Maybe his normal assertive behavior was not
considered as being knowledgeable or authoritative. He tried to make an impact, but
perhaps it was not appropriate. He remembered how the interviewer had looked at him
as they shook hands. Erick wore “Baggies“ and had forgotten to remove the ring from
his tongue, his shirt was not properly ironed and his hair coloring may have been too
much.
