    {"role":"interviewer","text":"Hi, is this Alex? Are you hands‑free and okay for a quick first call? I’ll keep it brief."},
    {"role":"candidate","text":"Yes—Bluetooth on. I’m good to talk."},
    {"role":"interviewer","text":"Great. I’m with CarGO Health—we move time‑sensitive medical items around NYC/NJ. First call today is just fit and basics. How familiar are you with the area between Jersey City and Queens?"},
    {"role":"candidate","text":"Pretty familiar. I live in Jersey City and drive into Queens a few times a week—Whitestone, LIC, Astoria—so I know the crossings and the usual choke points—like the LIE/Grand Central merge eastbound and the 5–6 pm Van Wyck slowdown."},
    {"role":"interviewer","text":"Nice. Tell me about a time you had to manage around a hiccup—weather, a repair, or a late‑day add‑on—and still kept things on schedule."},
    {"role":"candidate","text":"Two weeks ago my alternator started acting up—charging light flickered around noon. I had two Queens stops with tight windows. I called my shop to confirm I could safely finish the day, turned off non‑essentials, and texted dispatch that I might resequence if voltage dropped. I made both stops on time, then got the alternator replaced that evening. I don’t gamble; I surface risk early and put a plan in place."},
    {"role":"interviewer","text":"Appreciate the transparency. Quick checklist: do you have a valid driver’s license?"},
    {"role":"candidate","text":"Yes, valid license. No points."},
    {"role":"interviewer","text":"What vehicle are you using, and how’s reliability now that the alternator’s fixed?"},
    {"role":"candidate","text":"A 2015 Accord. New alternator and battery; oil and tires up to date. It’s solid now."},
    {"role":"interviewer","text":"And you’re set up with E‑ZPass for bridges and tunnels?"},
    {"role":"candidate","text":"Yes. I usually take Holland or Lincoln westbound, QMT if I’m heading into Midtown, and Whitestone if I’m going up toward 678."},
    {"role":"interviewer","text":"Good to know. On availability, what consistent window works for you? We often need weekend coverage plus a couple weekdays."},
    {"role":"candidate","text":"I can do weekends plus Tuesday and Thursday evenings. I’ll show up when I commit; if I say I’m there, I’m there."},
    {"role":"interviewer","text":"Quick policy snapshot: zero‑tolerance on lateness (one strike), no substitutions or riders, and we run in all weather—including holidays. Uniforms and basic supplies come at onboarding; details during setup."},
    {"role":"interviewer","text":"Sounds good. Quick recap: Jersey City home base, comfortable across Queens, Accord is recently serviced, you’ve got E‑ZPass, and your window is weekends plus Tue/Thu evenings. That fits our approach: we expect on‑time, no missed commitments, and quick app check‑ins if the sequence changes. Pay is per assignment with multi‑stop bundles; deadhead handling depends on route—we’ll cover it during onboarding. Any questions for me?"},
    {"role":"candidate","text":"Just confirming: I’ll be independent after training, right? I prefer clear standards, then I execute."},
    {"role":"interviewer","text":"Exactly. We’ll do in‑person onboarding to set up the app and review client protocols, then a roughly two‑week extended interview period while workload ramps. If that works, we can look at scheduling a slot."}
