My big one is that they need to stop asking why I applied for their company. The real answer is I want a new job, and I blasted out a hundred applications. I didn't choose your company specifically.

I work in a slaughterhouse in the middle of nowhere of a deep red state. I'm surrounded by people I can't stand and have to listen to hateful rhetoric in the locker room every day. I don't care cause I get paid to keep coming in and spend most of my time listening to music/podcasts.

    That sounds fucking shit, my sympathies.

    To be clear, I wasn't trying to provide THE answer to your question, just a possible answer (that's not necessarily applicable in all contexts). But also, I suspect my answer might still be applicable in your context from the perspective of your boss/hirer.
