"I have conducted a great deal of research on Northrop Grumman before meeting you today. I like your branding, and your online presence is strong. If I could make a suggestion, it would be to have a confirmation email sent to all online job applicants. I found the site difficult to navigate and was not sure if my initial application went through successfully. Luckily, your HR department was amazing, and they called me just a few days later for a pre-screen interview."
