When an employer asks "can you elaborate on that?" That means they didn't prepare for the interview and are BSing questions. The key to any interview is to kind of hijack the conversation and steer it in a direction that results in you getting a job and more money. So you really need like 3 things that are good about you with a story you can tell. So like when they ask why they should hire you and you said because you are dependable. When they asked can you elaborate, you should have told a story about a time when you came through for the team then follow it up with a question. So like "Can you elaborate on that?" "Yes, one time someone called out of work unexpectedly and I volunteered to work a double shift. While I was on that shift, I saw that a new team member was struggling and I was able to train them on ____. Will there be opportunities for me to step into a leadership role in this position? If so, what requirements will I need to meet?" (Then you write down what those requirements are.) The trick is to get them to stop asking you questions and have a general conversation.
