Avoid discussing pay, as this could indicate that you're only in it for the money. Avoid bad-mouthing your last position or their leadership, as this could make the interviewer think that you'd be discontent at any job you work in.

"It was a temp job. We met all our mutual goals and objectives. I learned a lot there and developed some lasting relationships with my other team members. They'd welcome me back in a second, but my studies and career goals come first. Looking back, we had some great shared experiences, but now I have to look forward."
