Imagine that you enter the elevator on your way to an interview for an entry-level job at your first-choice company. Two other individuals are also on the elevator. As you head to your floor, the elevator stalls, and it will be another twenty minutes before the mechanics can fix the elevator. You and the two other individuals begin to talk, introduce yourselves, and find that each of you is in the building for an interview. You decide to pose questions to one another.
