Lillie Peterson · Answer 1

i think it is best to state my credentials very clear.

I'll have to bring out all profiles and information about me.

I'll show them what I have knowledge about. I don't have to take about the Catholic aspect, except if I'm asked to, and I'll honestly state that I'm not a Catholic member.

Giving preference doesn't mean they can't still check my abilities and experience, I might be a pro in that aspect of what they need in the company.
