What is the significance of the interview slot in the hiring process?

The interview slot plays a crucial role in the hiring process. An early interview slot may be advantageous as humans are naturally inclined to prefer their first encounter. This means that being one of the first candidates to be interviewed could potentially leave a stronger impression on the hiring managers. However, regardless of the slot, it's important to prepare thoroughly and present oneself professionally to make a positive impact.
