The interviewer hopes to hear that there is no reason not to hire you! Tell the interviewer that you would be a great employee, and confidently share that there is no reason not to hire you. You might wrap it up by sharing that you are patient-focused, have a proven employment record, and have excellent references.

If you want to be considered for the job, avoid giving reasons why the interviewer should not hire you. You do not want to put doubt in the interviewer's mind and have them reconsider offering you the position.
