Why the Interviewer Asks This Question
This serves as a great wrap-up question that grants you the opportunity to express anything you would like to share that you feel may increase your chances of landing the job. It serves as a way for both parties to avoid any missed opportunities.

What NOT to Say
Anything that's inconsistent with the rest of the interview will serve as a red flag. Put yourselves in the interviewer's shoes and ask a question they would've asked but didn't. Be appropriate and filtered.

2nd Answer Example
"I would have asked about any non-professional experience I have that would lend itself to this position. You see, I worked at a non-profit as a grant writer and once was lucky enough to be awarded a grant by American Express."
