Ethan arrives early for a job interview at a small company. He checks the address and walks into the reception area. A receptionist greets him and offers him a seat. Ethan reviews his notes while he waits. The manager comes out and invites him into an office. She asks about his experience and describes the position. Ethan explains his previous responsibilities and gives an example of solving a customer’s problem. He also asks about training and the work schedule. At the end, the manager thanks him for coming. Ethan leaves feeling encouraged and sends a short thank-you email that afternoon.
