Very good. Now, I have a couple of final questions. I hope they're not too hard. Well, why should we hire you? I think that I would be a perfect fit in this company. I have a unique combination of strong technical acumen with outstanding soft skills. You know, I excel at building strong long-term consumer relationships. For example, when I headed the customer support department in my previous company, our team resolved about 70% of our customers' problems. I decided that we needed better information and technical preparation on our products. So after I implemented a series of training sessions in coordination with our technical department, we were able to solve 90% of our customers' issues. Given the opportunity, I could bring this kind of success to this company. Woo! Impressive! So what would you consider to be your greatest weakness? To be honest, I struggle with organization and time management. Punctuality has never been a strength of mine. I find it hard to organize my time effectively. I've actually addressed this weakness recently by attending a workshop on efficient time management. It helped me a lot by providing me with great insights on how to get organized and use my time efficiently. So I think I'm getting better now. Woo! Woo! Ahem. Great. Well, let me tell you that I am very pleased with this interview. We are shortlisting our candidates this week. And next week, we will inform our shortlisted candidates of the day and time for a second interview with our CEO. Great. Thanks a lot. I hope to hear from you. Goodbye. Thank you for watching.
