      1st Answer Example

      "I have seen that you have a few competitors in your industry including Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Boeing, BAE Systems and General Dynamics; however, after reviewing your website, online reviews, and seeing your multitude of recent awards I feel that working for Raytheon would be a real honor and great step in my career. You stand out from the crowd for refusing to bend from your company values and the fact that you won the System Engineering Excellence Award for the Air and Missile Defense Radar project."
