Rambling on and on and on … (The Board has no clue what your talking about)
Not giving a strong example (Fluff, Fluff and more Fluff)
No enthusiasm (a corpse would probably give a more upbeat interview, not motivated, too laid back)
Examples should be job related if possible and current
No eye contact with the Board member that is asking the question
Bad closing statement (Need job change because of injured back, want to work days instead of nights, dislike manager and not able to transfer out)
No closing statement or handshake
