The interviewer hopes to hear that there is no reason not to hire you! Tell the interviewer 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.

Assure the interviewer there is no reason why they shouldn't hire you. If you want to be considered for the job, avoid giving reasons why the interviewer should not hire you.

"I cannot think of one reason you should not hire me. You are looking for someone with at least three years of experience, and I have seven. You also mention that your ideal candidate preferably has a bachelor's degree and specialized certifications, which I have. I am also working towards my Master's Degree in Nursing, so I will exceed your minimum requirements. I have excellent references and a proven history of providing exceptional, compassionate care. I assure you that you will not be disappointed if you hire me for the position."
