Rationale 1: A candidate who has no questions suggests a lack of interest or expertise. The nurse's inability to make eye contact and appearing timid does not facilitate a good impression.
Rationale 2: While not making eye contact and appearing timid may indicate shyness, the overwhelming impression is a lack of interest.
Rationale 3: The applicant hasn't been rude but appears disengaged.
Rationale 4: There is no real reason to think this applicant is lazy, but the HR director may be reluctant to offer a second interview.
