Applied at AirFlow Solutions for Operations Coordinator

I just had a second-round Zoom interview for an operations coordinator role at AirFlow Solutions, a company that distributes industrial air ventilation ductwork. The pay is decent and there's remote flexibility, which is great. The first part of the interview went smoothly with standard questions about spreadsheets and project deadlines. However, things took a turn when the hiring manager asked, 'So what specifically excites you about our mission here at AirFlow Solutions?' My mind went completely blank, and I panicked. Instead of discussing the company culture or supply chain logistics, I blurted out something about how air is essential for survival and without ductwork, buildings would just be filled with stale human breath. There was an awkward silence, and I could feel the embarrassment wash over me. I tried to recover by mumbling about sheet metal gauges, but it felt like the damage was already done. How are we supposed to fake passion for moving metal tubes across state lines?
