"I have applied to two other hospitals in the area. I applied to this position because you are closest to my home, and I am already familiar with many people on your team. It would feel like a comfortable place to be right away, and you are my top choice of places to work."

"As I recently completed my degree, I have not been active in my applications. One of my professors recommended that I apply here because of your strong reputation for training and guiding new technologists. This appears to be a friendly place for those newer to their career who are willing to work hard and learn."

"I have applied to three hospitals in total. At this point, I am in the second interview stage with one hospital and a phone interview with the other. I am not looking to make just any change as I wish for this to be my last career move. I am looking for a long-term fit at a facility where I can grow into a more prominent leadership role, which I can see happening at your hospital over the others."
