  > “I’m doing a CEO search. It’s a Fortune 500 company. It’s in the consumer Internet space. It’s in Silicon Valley—you wouldn’t even have to move. It’s the perfect job for you. The board is asking for you by name. Are you interested? It’s Yahoo.” Is this really how she got the call? What was the point of all the anonymity if the recruiter was just going to say "It's Yahoo" at the end anyway? All of that could've been reduced to four sentences: 1. I’m doing a CEO search. 2. It’s Yahoo. 3. The board is asking for you by name. (Maybe) 4. Are you interested?
