What the interviewer is getting at is 'What makes you stand out?' Because ADP is a giant corporation, you can bet that they receive hundreds of resumes when they post a job opening. This means that you will have to differentiate yourself as an applicant and articulate that well in an interview.

This is the time to sell yourself! Think of your top three greatest strengths, and try to tie those into the qualities outlined by ADP in their job description.

Maybe you are innately positive and can cheer others up when they are having a bad day. Perhaps you are an expert in dispute resolution. Write down a few examples of the most influential personal skills that come to mind. If you're not sure where to start, review your resume, paying close attention to your accomplishments. Think about the qualities that propel you to excel on a regular basis.
