[quote=Anonymous][quote]I don't understand your first question fully.[/quote]

Basically, what makes an applicant an automatic rejection.

[quote]I recently got to hire half the summer interns. I hired one kid who has almost nothing impressive resume-wise, but he wrote a really impassioned cover letter and I like his drive, and that he puts in effort. Recently I got feedback that on his third day he was told that when someone calls you into their office (and you're their assistant) you should always show up with pen and paper prepared to take notes, and ever since then he always does. He always says hello to the receptionist. I like his social skills. Did he bring tons of work skills to the table? No. But he's got great drive and great attitude, and is open to learning the work. It's a great combination.[/quote]

He sounds like a great kid.  We've had a few who walk around with an entitled air, thinking they're big shots because they answer phones at XYZ firm.  One kid is like the one you mentioned; always watching training videos and trying to improve his knowledge base.[/quote]
