"As your next store person at Fonterra, I would join your team with the physical ability to be on my feet most of the day and lift any heavy object required. I am a very active runner and also lift weights on a regular basis. I know that you are also looking for a candidate who is highly organized and my references will attest to the fact that I am error-free in my work. Last, I have my current pallet truck and forklift certifications from my current job and would be happy to take any further necessary training once hired."

"If hired as your next line lead at Fonterra, I feel like my experience in run-to-target manufacturing will bode well as I coach the operators and maintenance techs that will be working under me. Of course, I'll need to be familiarized with how RTT techniques are put to work here on a daily basis. On top of this, I think the one quality that puts me ahead of any competition for this job is the reliability I would bring to Fonterra. I take pridel in my work and have never had an unexcused absence during the entire length of my career."

Prior to your interview, think about the skills listed in the Fonterra job description, and which of those skills best match your experience, personality, and characteristics. Then, mention two or three qualities that they are looking for that you would come to the role with. Remember that this question is another way of asking "Why should we hire you" or "Why are you the best candidate for Fonterra," so be sure to take advantage as you answer this question.
