Job Interview Insurance: "Instead of taking the interview yourself — which could lead to a home run, or a humiliation — let us take the interview for you. Our generic answers will neither enhance nor damage your chances."

Interviewer: "We want our employees to feel comfortable asking for help when they need it. Does that describe you?" Agent: "Well, judging by my presence here, yes."
