person A: Man I felt good when I applied for my job!
person B: How did it go? That's an anxiety-inducing but hopeful situation!
person A: No I was very assured in my interview.  I got the job_comma_ probably because of my attitude.
person B: Congratulations! Enjoy the new gig! Good things happen to good people.
person A: I could definitely feel it going to other way if I was defeatist in my interview.
person B: Being defeatist is never a good move. Honestly_comma_ once you've got your foot in the door I think it's all about personality. 
person A: It can be_comma_ but personality can't make up for incomptence either.
person B: I would argue most good employers can diagnose incompetence from the first or second conversation. If they can't_comma_ maybe they aren't good employers.
