I like that you have 40 grocery stores in the region and I shop at the one on Elm St all the time. I also think I'd learn a lot. I'm a supply chain major and I want to get experience. Also the internship pays well and is close to my apartment.\"\n\nMY RESEARCH (Clearwater Foods, from their site and news)\n- Regional grocery chain, family-owned since 1962\n- 52 stores as of this year (they opened 12 new ones; the 40 number is from 2023)\n- Launched a \"Farm to Shelf\" program: buys produce from 200 local farms within 150 miles\n- Internship: Supply Chain Intern, works on reducing produce waste in the distribution center\n- Their values page: \"Fresh, local, less waste\"\n\nMY NOTES (Ben Ortiz, junior, supply chain management)\n- Interview Thursday\n- My class project was on cutting food waste in our dining hall, we cut waste 15%\n- Career center: answers should be about them and how you fit, not about you getting stuff","rules":[{"type":"numberedItems","count":3},{"type":"maxWords","max":100},{"type":"plainText"}],"mistakes":[{"title":"Getting a new answer to memorize","why":"Ask to 'make it better' and the AI writes a polished answer that doesn't sound like you in the room.","fix":"Add: \"Don't rewrite it or give me sentences.
