      Take a look:

      2- No, I ( capital letter) ....his personality and enthusiasm DURING THE INTERVIEW PROCESS WERE more important than ......

      Check meaning of relevant, please!
      1. Having a bearing on or connection with the matter at hand.
      2. Meaningful or purposeful in current society or culture:

      It is not a synonym of important. It really means " pertinente

    1-Do you find anything odd during this interview?
    Yes I do. The man arrived late for the job interview wearing casual and dirty clothes. At first the potential employers were negatively surprised but after some minutes everything changed.
    2- Do you think the candidate has followed any of the tips mentioned for a job interview?
    No I don´t. I think the first impression he made on the interviewers was bad. However, he expressed with attitude and sure that no one else could do the job better than him.

  10. 1- Yes, even though he arrived late to the meeting and he was not dressed as it is expected, Chris demonstrated commitment. He managed to change the interviewers first impression and had an outstanding development.
    2- Despite the fact he didn’t followed any of the tips mentioned for a job interview, his personality and positive attitude moved the audience. The interviewers get to like him not for his professional aptitudes but for his positive attitudes.

    In my opinion the interview is being too informal. I find odd, the way Chris is dressed and also the way he speaks to the people who are interviewing him.
