True or false?

Craig Krankoff has already had an interview at the Delavigne Corporation.
This statement is not true.
This is a false statement. This is the first contact which Craig has had with Delavigne. He writes that this is a "speculative application". A "speculative (application)" is an application that a candidate sends to a company without knowing whether a job is available, and is not suitable for someone who has already been interviewed by the firm. Example: "This weekend, I sent out 400 speculative job applications. I hope I get some replies!".
