What will be an ideal response?

- Negative factors leading to job applicant rejection most often:
* Negative personality or poor impression; more specifically, lack of motivation, ambition, maturity, aggressiveness, or enthusiasm, or lack of respect-not knowing the interviewer's name or using his or her first name shows disrespect.
* Inability to communicate; poor communication skills.
* Lack of competence; inadequate training.
* Exaggerated skills and experience on the résumé.
* Lack of specific goals.
* Sloppy appearance.
* Failure to clean social media sites; digital junk-pictures that might be either good or bad or seem scandalous.
* Lack of interest in type of work, showing a bad attitude, or exhibiting a slight arrogance during the interview.
* Unwillingness to travel or relocate.
* Poor preparation for the interview and/or showing up late.
* Lack of experience.
* Demonstrating emotional distress.
- Student responses will vary but should reference at least one or two factors and provide strategies for overcoming them.
