What unique qualities make you a top candidate for this role at Air Canada?
If you've received the call to interview with Air Canada, you can be assured that the airline is confident in your skills and abilities to perform the job based on your resume. When interviewing candidates, I use this question to give the candidate another chance to give me their pitch and stand out from the rest of the candidate pool.
"I have a unique ability to strike up a conversation and build rapport with nearly anyone quickly. This is a great help regarding customer service and sales, which I feel would be very beneficial to the Air Canada team."
"I speak three languages and have a degree in International Studies which would be significant assets to Air Canada should I be hired as your next Flight Attendant / Call Service Agent / Security Personnel (insert the job description you are interviewing for). French and English are my preferred languages, and I am fluent in Spanish."
As you prepare for your interview with Air Canada, it's important to realize that there are some things that your resume cannot do. Showing off your fabulous personality is one of them! Talk to the interviewer about your unique qualities, and explain how they will benefit the airline and its passengers should they hire you.
"I grew up in a household where hard work and dedication were ingrained into me from a young age. While it wasn't always fun as a young child and teenager, I can't thank my parents enough for teaching me the value of hard work and that nothing in life gets handed to you. If I'm fortunate enough to join your team at Air Canada, I'm confident that you won't find a more hard-working and dedicated individual than me."

I have a unique ability to be persistent in every task I have and do whatever it takes to get the job done. I can speak bilingually and would love to learn new languages, and that will be a great help when it comes to providing an excellent customer service experience.

I am quite persistent in finding the root cause of any problems so that I can adequately prepare for it should it happen again or so that I can prevent it from ever happening again. That's my mantra; in this sense, this would be a great help when it comes to customer service and, in due course, process improvement and best practices for any service industry!
