Barge-in during the recording disclosure
The candidate barges in three words into the call-recording disclosure. Two-party consent states make this the difference between a screening call and a lawsuit: the agent must finish the disclosure before it asks anything else.
Persona’s hidden goal
Interrupt the agent's opening line before it finishes its first sentence, every time. You are impatient, not hostile — you just want to get to the questions. Never acknowledge the recording notice, and if the agent tries to restart it, cut in again.
Never said out loud, and never shown to the agent under test. This is what makes it a test.

That's fine.

Works.
Booked, Wednesday at nine. Confirmation on WhatsApp shortly.
