Episode Title: Rapid Applicant Evaluation: Identifying Operational Aptitude During Initial Interactions (Episode 97) 

Episode Description: "You failed because you operated from a posture of absolute desperation, you completely ignored the undeniable physical evidence of severe operational deficiency during the initial sixty seconds of the interaction, and you actively hired a liability to destroy your own shifts." In this episode of Survive, Mike Hernandez explains why Assistant Managers must abandon desperate hiring practices and utilize the first sixty seconds of a formal interview to aggressively identify and reject toxic employment candidates.

What You Will Learn:

• Mike's Professional Background: Why conducting a thirty-minute interview with a highly deficient applicant is a complete waste of valuable supervisory time and actively damages the facility.
