"I'm confident that my people skills are second to none. I have great verbal and written communication skills, an overall attitude and demeanor that attracts people, and a positive outlook on anything. I know these traits will be very beneficial to me and my new colleagues. As a new graduate, I'll also say that my naivety to how things have been done could be very beneficial because I will come into the job with no preconceived notions and fresh ideas."

"From what you've told me, you are looking for someone to ensure the systems are properly functioning. My determination and commitment won't be matched by any other candidate you are considering. I feel these are my top qualities. On top of those, you'll quickly find that I am very perceptive and observant of the needs of others, and I'm confident these skills will be vital to the success of the person you hire."
