On-screen text

Today I interviewed an applicant who had a perfect interview and it immediately made me wanna hire her. And I'm gonna tell you what she did well so you can do it too. She completely understood that you're supposed to small talk in the beginning. She had the perfect spiel about herself. She told a memorable story, she related it back to the role and said why she's most excited about this opportunity. She made it a two way dialogue and asked me questions throughout the whole interview. And she asked the most important question. What about me as an applicant would give you pause in hiring me? Twenty minutes later I got a thank you note in my inbox and it was 10 out of 10. Follow this rule book and it will get you hired.
