Here are some possible answers you give.Global: I don't look good on paper and I get nervous at interviews.Specific: I don't really know enough about the kinds of products they sell. To look good at an interview, I need more of a feel for the business.Chronic: I don't have a dynamic, take-charge kind of personality. It's not who I am.Transient: I had just recovered from the flu and had not been sleeping well. I wasn't at my best.
