What is the Type-A question? “What are the steps in the hiring process?”How do you extend the image to the answers? (use synonyms) Think about all the things you had to do to get that person hired,
all the actions you had to go through, all the people you had to talk with, the forms and everything.
What image-building phrase can you use? “Think about the last time your hired someone.”
