"I have a pretty great attitude, regardless of the work I perform. There's no doubt this work can be dispiriting for some, but I have a proven track record of motivating those working around me. I am the team's cheerleader, an enemy to none, and a friend to all. That combined with my hard skills and on-the-job training and leadership skills, I consider myself poised as a desirable candidate."

The interviewer is curious what kind of pitch you'd throw their way, or if you will squander this opportunity to advertise your merits. It also evaluates how above and beyond you've gone in researching the position, and how well you've been paying attention to the other interview questions in this set. They want to know if you know what sets you apart from the other candidates competing for this opportunity.

This is an excellent opportunity to advertise your accomplishments and merits, to go deeper into what you brought to your previous teams, and what you would deliver to their team. Think about your successes, the positive energy you'd bring, and the positive comments your coworkers have mentioned about you in the past. Speak confidently, make relaxed eye contact, and posture yourself with positive, engaging, and confident body language.
