See, that I do not know.

I have had 4-5 practice interviews with career coaches, HR people, and employment professionals. The feedback I get is "be sure to look your interviewer in the eye", watch your body language/don't cross your arms, answer the question directly and include 1 success anecdote, smile.

No one has said "you seem needy", "show that you care more", or "don't exude that you think you know best".

I like to think that I am not just dealing with a bunch of "yes" people, but the more I think it is me, the less honest answers I seem to be getting.
