Passage
Read the following exchange between an employer and a candidate (potential employee) and answer the given subquestions:
Anisha: Min, it's so nice to meet you in this setting. Thank you for taking the time to interview for the role of instructional designer at Bridgepan Education. I'm curious to hear more about your interest in the learning design industry. Why are you in this industry?
Min: Nice to meet you too! I'm so excited to be here today and thankful to you for having given me this opportunity. So, I've been a curriculum developer in various educational and corporate settings for the past 10 years. I'm very passionate about creating data-driven and aesthetically appealing learning solutions in different formats — be it instructor-led, e-learning, and blended learning. I applied for this role because I watched a news piece on how your CEO Mr. Raul brought in an indoor mapping tool that made hybrid work possible for employees working from anywhere — I thought that was quite amazing, and I'd be thrilled to meet him sometime.
Anisha: We can definitely have you meet him if things work out! It's great that you've been following our company for some time now. I'd like to follow up with another question — why this role and this company, in particular?
Min: Well, there are three reasons I applied for this role in particular — I'd love to dive into them if that's alright?
Anisha: Yes, please do!
Min: The first is that your company is known to put a strong emphasis on innovations and research, and I'd love to be a part of a company that wants to constantly develop their products. Secondly, I'm also huge on teamwork and collaboration, and given that the role and your company's values emphasise teamwork, it sounded like the perfect fit for me. Thirdly, the position matches my prior experience, but is also challenging enough that I know I'll have the space to pick up new skills and grow.
Anisha: That's great, thanks so much!
