Companies use hunting jargons e.g., Headhunters

A picture of a deer was shown and asked, “What do you see?”

Then a picture of a hunter was shown.

The question is: The best prey is a victim.

Never, ever, ever behave like a prey…As a candidate be the hunter and not the prey.

Best Hunters are Attentive, Knowledgeable, Assertive, Proactive, Brave, Focused, Perseverance, Stamina.
