why? because it’s better thought out as opposed to a simple greeting? It’s working with human phycology and smart framework to develop an outstanding greeting. I don’t see the problem. Even if it is “corporate” and grey it is very much personalized and colorful after you modify it to fit yourself.

I am just after the corpo interview, they hired me but I feel part of this conversation is just like “coaching”, it doesn’t work for everyone and some people can see through it. So I do understand your feelings about it Eclipse . It doesn’t feel direct, honest and straightforward.
You make yourself talk about why you are the best or why you want this job, but after all the most honest opinion is “I need to pay my bills” 😂
