Tired of Being Toyed With

Because if you don't, I will report you to the Department of Labor since they are the ones that recommended me to you. Another good reason is that I've been interviewed about 50 times since the layoff by snooty hiring managers such as you and I feel like going off the deep end in this office if you don't. THAT'S why you should hire me -- you called me in for the interview and I'm sick of being toyed with.

Do Not Hire Me...

If you want someone who is lazy, uncoordinated, absent minded, insecure, untrustworthy, hot headed, not responsible for their actions, clueless, or negative, please do not attempt to contact me. For an interview with a person who meets high expectations, please contact me.

Don't Provide Generic Reasons

These answers here are all generic statements. A quality answer to this question would include specific examples of what a candidate has done in previous positions that directly relate to the position being interviewed for. If you tell me "I should be hired because I'm a motivated hard worker", it comes across too generic if it isn't backed-up with a real work life example.
