This Cadet has one of the best elevator speeches that beats out anything most Senior members can spit out. Great job!

Aside from the glaring errors, sure.
More impressive to a cadet short stack.
I'll definitely give her this:
Her speaking style is highly professional. And you can tell she loves what she does based on her tones and inflections.

And this ^^^^ is what matters. She is out there marketing to potential recruits, and did a fantastic job. Those who "look for errors" totally miss the point.

So, I don't think looking for errors is necessary bad. I think it's how those errors are addressed later.
I like to end feedback on a positive note when I can. I'd immediately give her the kudos when she walks away from the camera. Let her have that moment for a while. Then, maybe a week or so later, do the sit down. "Great job. Super proud. How do you feel? Here's what I really liked...okay, so while we're here, let's talk about a few things....for next time, or if you work with another cadet that plans to do this, maybe try....Again, awesome job. This is exactly what I like to see. Proud of you. Stay golden."
It's kind of a science.
The mechanics of the interview were really well done. Maybe a little bit dry as a segment overall, but that's not uncommon. It's not high-moto, thrilling stuff. It was very classy, professional, and heart-filled.
I thought she did fantastic. I'm glad life hasn't turned her to an eternal cynic like some of us here. :D

X2, awesome presentation.
Simply outstanding work!
Well spoken young lady.
Her and her sister are rock stars in Mn Wing. Fantastic cadets. It's fun to watch them grow!

Absolutely. Anyone who knocks her for "errors" *is* missing the point. I'd also ask them when the last time was when they stepped forward to be interviewed by their local tv or radio station in a positive recruiting and retention manner to promote CAP so well, so succinctly, and so enthusiastically.
