Edwin, an anthropomorphic jackrabbit, is wearing a business casual outfit and has a grumpy expression on his face. He gives job searching tips by speaking directly to the reader using a dialogue bubble. Edwin says,
"A phone call with a recruiter means you have survived the resume review step. Keep in mind that the recruiter may have no understanding of the job they are interviewing you about. They usually work from a checklist, asking yes/no questions that are important to the hiring manager. You do not have to go too deep with your answers."
