"You want as an employer to be interviewing people that really care about getting the job," says Cleo Laffton. "If they are showing you disrespect, if they show you that they don't care, then why would you care in return? So I think there's a kind of a mutual, mutual kind of respect thing going on there." She adds: 'I'm looking for someone that can come in, has a swagger, that has a confidence, but it's not egotistical or brash'
