You shouldn't hire me if you like your team to require a lot of hand-holding and micro-management. I can take general direction and turn it into action quickly. You shouldn't hire me if you only want people who work 9-5 and never put in extra effort. I thrive in shops that need and appreciate hard work. You should't hire me if you want employees who need a lot of training to be effective in this role. Based on how you've described the position, I know I could hit the ground running here. You shouldn't hire me if you don't value customer contact skills. I'm the type of person you wouldn't be afraid to put in front of a customer - someone who would represent your company well.
